I'm with Fedora because we have the latest and greatest. Though
blindly, aggressively bomb in the latest releases if they're
compatible or not is the wrong way. Doing that breaks even koji from
time to time (thanks for our real quick rel-eng helping out there).
BTW is there a big difference between being a stable Debian or doing
the latest and greatest updates the smart way. I know that you know
that as well.
Just recall from time to time that putting too much pressure and being
too aggressive is often counter productive.
I generally trust in our maintainers that they know what they do. So
if they hold an update back will be for something good. We have
processes for everything else.
