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. -- Stephen J Smoogen.
