I don't disagree, but it is a lot better to acknowledge this situation
than it is to simply attribute some kind of neo-luddite perspective to
those suggesting we do anything else.
I'm not saying we keep everything forever, I am saying we might consider
thinking a bit more before deciding to implement a brand new system
as solution to an existing problem.
That IMHO is a general problem in Fedora and IMHO one of the biggest
problems of Fedora.
One examples from the last two years: the new firewire stack JuJu. It
afaics is a improvement now, but it was a bit to early when we shipped
it as the "one and only" Firewire stack.
Fedora as a whole IMHO should act a bit more like the kernel developers
that have that "no regressions in new kernels" as goal -- they don't
reach that goal completely but they are quite close afaics.
