Rawhide the path on the mirror (pub/fedora/linux/releases/development/) never freezes, never stops. It's always developmental and testing packages. It is always there. It never freezes. You can turn on that repo and just run with it from now until you decide you don't want to use computers anymore. The proposal, both wordings, say that we'll stop slowing down rawhide, stop trying to use that path as a testing/polish point for a release. We'll do that somewhere else and let rawhide keep flowing. So you can continue to run rawhide all you want. Your entry point to rawhide may change slightly, you may have to start with the current Fedora release or the current testing release for the next Fedora, and then upgrade to the rawhide package set, but once you've done that you just stick on rawhide and never look back. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
