Well, here's are two simple facts for you: 1) if things are not used they tend to have bugs 2) if things have bugs they are not used Acknowledging this: if you want to innovate you have no other option than pushing things to the people, and then fix what breaks. And if you never are willing to pass something to the users before it is 100% stable and tested, then it will never be 100% stable and tested, and you simply stop to innovate. But that wouldn't be Fedora anymore then. And I think so far things went really well with systemd, even though this discussion might create the impression it didn't.
