I don't think we have the resources to please both those who want a
usable rolling release *and* those who want an LTS release.
I think people who want rolling releases are those who come from other
Linux distributions... I don't think anyone coming from Windows or Mac
would want their OS to change under their feet on regular updates.

Again, not specific enough.

I'm using Fedora with SELinux on enforcing mode on two machines and I
have no issue... however I do think the SELinux Troubleshooter
deserves a UI refresh and some UX work.
SELinux used to be much worse, years ago, but from what I see it is
getting better.

We have Nuntius, which is neat. What other features do you think we
need to have better mobile device integration?

This is just another example to show the Linux distribution module
doesn't scale. No matter how many apps we package, there are going to
be more. Application bundles is going to be a great improvement on
this front.
