That's exactly what I had in mind.I think we're already at the point where -- at least for Fedora Workstation (not sure about Server/Cloud), and except for infrastructure issues -- we can stop branding our releases with a version number, and simply have a particularly big offline update every six months. Behind-the-scenes, we still have the six-month cycle, but this is hidden to users. They get Fedora and it's just Fedora, not Fedora 21 or Fedora 22. People stop complaining about the 13-months of support that isn't long enough for them: we wouldn't have that short support window anymore, instead there is *indefinite* support so long as you take your monthly QAed updates pack BTW, the support issue is a serious block to Fedora adoption. The N->N+1 model complicates administration: even if in-situ upgrades work it's a different workflow than routine updates. A guarantee of long-term simple updates would definitely help Fedora. |
