If you don't like rawhide for that use case, find another operating system. I'm tired of our stable releases getting tonnes of updates. I'm tired of what F11 shipped like being completely different today. I'm tired of waiting for many many hours while we try to compose out the 3444 individual updates in F11 stable. (that's right, 3444 srpms worth of updates. F11 only had 7446 srpms to begin with!!). This is not the style of distribution I wish to produce or consume. If this is the style of distribution you wish to produce or consume, then I encourage you to go find another distribution or start your own. > > On the other hand, your usecase has a solution, it's called CentOS. > Wrong answer. Fedora can provide rapid adoption of new technology in it's 6 month release cycle. It can provide stability for those releases with a more conservative update style, focusing more on bugfixes and less on new features/packages. We can give users the confidence that when they install a Fedora release, we won't screw it up with irresponsible updates, or by changing the look/feel of their system midstream. We can do all of this at the rapid pace that puts Fedora in a vastly different world than CentOS or even Ubuntu. This is the kind of operating system I wish to produce, and I wish to consume. So again, if you want something different, perhaps /you/ are using the wrong operating system. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
