It sounds like it.. but psychologically is a completely different
thing. Alpha/beta/rawhide all sound too scary and they won't go near
it. However when they finally get on an RC or release they will go
through the same steps that the alpha/beta/rawhide/ or -testers users
had to do. Which then leads to a lot of stuff getting rolled in at the
last minute.

I just don't think "Slow and Stable" is ever going to work with Fedora.
