Actually, there is a broad issue here: is there a point where the system is so stable that updating is a continuous process without the need for a Fedora N -> N+1 transitions? Specifically, will we have a 3-digit Fedora release in May 2053 :-?Here's how it should work: 1) Download packages for the new system 2) Use the systemd Offline Updates[2] facility to install packages This is really simple - simple enough that it should probably be provided by the system packaging tools themselves. It seems to me that the 6-month release cycle has traditionally been driven by two separate reasons: technology and workflow. The first is a need to accommodate major, incompatible technology shifts. The second one just introduces a natural cadence of work leading to an orderly release. Do you think the tech could stabilize enough to obviate the first reason? The 6-month workflow cadence remains a good idea, of course, but could result in a major offline upgrade, instead of an entire new distribution. |
