Then you need to evaluate the software at a lower level, though, instead of waiting for official releases. You get incremental changes only if you examine snapshots of the source code as found in a project's vcs. Upstream next official release may contain too many changes already. Even minor releases break badly sometimes, if a developer decided to rewrite code sections. > I want a Fedora playground that is up-to-date (not quite rawhide, but > supported if I find an issue).

I would oppose also a policy that forced me to upgrade to latest releases without a technical requirement/rationale. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
