I'm a hardened power user and I got sick and tired of not having the latest version of a particular application and that led me to Fedora Linux. I'm a quick learner and these disruptive changes often work out increasing my productivity. I understand this profile doesn't fit everyone but Fedora will end up losing the more advanced end users in its effort to grab more of the less advanced end users who are fearful of change and/or gave up their pursuit of knowledge. Fedora is just going to end up having a million repos for all the software that will not be updated for six months. And that makes us look silly. Windows doesn't have repositories for users who want the latest firefox, they just download it and install it. No bullshit required. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
