What if you are using a Firefox extension that hasn't been ported to the latest release yet? What if you have decided that Fedora is an easier path to a server rather than attempting to backport a lot of packages because the current release of RHEL/CentOS is 3 years old and doesn't have what you need in term of framework or language? What if you are a college that has deployed Fedora to use for your students coursework, and an upgrade to a language/database/etc breaks things mid-semester? Fedora is used in a lot of different ways. Gerald -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
