I use Fedora because it is a rapidly moving distro and has good support to modern hardware because of that. I also strongly agree with its principles of pure open source, openness to volunteers, and close working with upstream. But as an administrator of a couple dozen different hardware platforms running Fedora, testing major updates every 6 months is work enough. Now I have to deal with it constantly. I would happily wait until F13 for KDE 4.4.0. I certainly can't see the need for it to appear in F11 (isn't the fact that someone hasn't bothered upgrading to F12 indication that they are looking for a little stability?). Even if things are "better:, it is disruptive because my users have to deal with changing behavior on someone else's schedule and I have to explain it to them. I voted for you for FESCO because I thought having a KDE person on the board would be helpful. Now I really regret it because you seem to have no skills for actually promoting cooperation and understanding between different groups of people. - Orion Poplawski -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
