We can't cater to people who never upgrade which seems to be what is taking place. Especially with the fact that our end of life happens sooner, users must already expect a constant stream of updates. If they want more stability they should be using RHEL, CentOS or Scientific Linux, Debian Stable, Ubuntu LTS which do put the focus on non disruptiveness. Each release of KDE comes with bug fixes, security fixes and new features. Plus combine the fact that KDE right now is evolving at a rapid rate thanks to all of the new developers that the 4.x series has attracted. Not having the latest makes it difficult for a KDE developer to test their stuff and make sure it keeps working with the latest KDE. Fedora isn't just a home to Gnome development, which as a framework never seems to change so they won't have the same opinion as the KDE people. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
