What type of large commercial organisation lets undisciplined people
make adverse changes detrimental to the reputation and ultimate success
of its 'stable' commercial product. Since Enterprise Linux is supposed
NOT to be Windoze, consistency is very important especially for the
paying (R.H.) customers. It is also much appreciated by its devout fans
and the hardworking guardians of the Centos cloned version.
* The dramatic upheaval in C7;
* The claimed life-span of C5 truncated by no more normal upgrades;
* The changes introduced in C6.6, during the lifetime of an allegedly
stable C6 product;
all seem to suggest Upstream lacks a clear, reliable and dependable
strategic policy (or what some call a 'sense of direction').
Happy New Year to all to everyone.
The stability comes _within_ a product release. I don't think it's
realistic to expect el7 to be the same as el6 or el5, otherwsie what's
the point of the newer releases. You have 7 years of support /
consistency (now 10 years). What business model do you have that you
can't build around a product guaranteed to be consistent/supported for
the next 10 years?
