I think someone suggested it before in a way but it seems that Fedora is
on an every other pattern.
FC-1 was the last of the 2.4 kernels and very stable, pretty much a 9.1
thing.
FC-2 was the first with 2.6 kernel and SELinux and early GCC 3 and
suffered a bit.
FC-3 pretty much fixed all that didn't work well in FC-2 and is certain
to be a candidate for longevity in fedoralegacy
FC-4 is pushing the envelope again, GCC-4 is a big one but they have
adopted some beta versions of stuff that isn't entirely stable.
That is the stated agenda for Fedora. Still, for my desktop, I am
running Fedora...but not for servers.
