Because upgrading gives you some assurance that the stuff you depend on _will_ be maintained. "Perhaps glaring problems will be fixed. Probably not. If your box gets broken into, tough luck" is _not_ what I would like people to take home as "Linux experience". Because "But I got it from Fedora's site! They even shipped an update last month!!" /makes/ Fedora (at least morally) liable if it goes bad. Besides, keeping old stuff around for ages /is/ a resource commitment. For no good reason, even. -- Dr. Horst H. von Brand User #22616 counter.li.org Departamento de Informatica Fono: +56 32 2654431 Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria +56 32 2654239 Casilla 110-V, Valparaiso, Chile 2340000 Fax: +56 32 2797513 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
