It's hard to maintain static guides with a rolling release. The Arch Wiki is a great resource to be sure, but it's ever-changing and not easy to find old information if you're not running with current. The guides that the Fedora Docs group produce are a great resource for the community, and it would be a major strain on our resources to keep up with rolling releases. My personal opinion is that a rolling release might be nice (not nice enough, apparently to use Rawhide, but that's more about laziness than anything), but I'm not convinced it's what's best for the community at large. -- Ben Cotton Fedora Docs Leader -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
