I've seen none whatever for less stable versions. +1 Fedora IS USEABLE as a stable base for nearly anything even large upgrades like systemd and UsrMove are working finally they "only" have too much impact which could be optimized by relax the release-schedules in a direction "ok, things are not running like we thought at the begin of the schedule, let us take the time it needs to make stings clean and stable" current F18 is a good example POSITIVE: beta delayed multiple times for good reasons NEGATIVE: the promise to hold final release date NO! the right way would be to delay final release to 2013 this would greatly improve the time of testing of a as final declared release where ALL components are having this state at the same time PLEASE: keep in mind this is free software NOT driven by marketing idiots who define release dates - why wasting this real huge benefit for "beeing first everytime" _____________________________ as said: i would propose that one of the two releases each year does not bring large new features with great impact and instead use one schedule to stabilize and fine-polish the distribution at all which maybe save a lot of ressources for upcoming features in the following release
