I mean, that's a genuine, not a rhetorical question. What I'm proposing is not crazy pie-in-the-sky, there are other real distributions that have been around for a long time that *do* this. Most if not all developers run the development version of the distro. No-one seems particularly unhappy with this. I don't see many "oops, I can't help you because my email is broken" complaints. It just doesn't seem to be a problem. (On the flipping email issue - I use Evolution. With an IMAP server. I think it's been broken, oh, maybe twice in the last five years. I had to use Thunderbird for a couple of days. I survived. And yes, Mandriva development branch goes through GNOME's unstable releases, so I ran Evo 2.19, 2.21, 2.23, 2.25 etc etc etc. It just doesn't totally break as much as people seem to be claiming, in my experience.) -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
