Matthew and all in general , I'm very sorry for my bad mood and I apologize. But what I want emphasize is that we are losing the concept of stability not just in Fedora, it is in many other projects, KDE for example, simply don't have any "stable" or LTS release or something like that, that is real stable and solid as rock. For packages maintainers like me, that maintain packages in free time, we got more and more work and begins to become impossible maintain all packages correctly, we got lot of packages that aren't updated because people simple don't have time, so should be important, that some team take care of completely out-date packages, like, for example, gitlib [1], also maybe in wild changes like systemd, selinux, appdata, etc, the team help packagers on maintain his packages. About ISOs available at http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/live-respin s/ , yeah I forgot that, IHMO, it should be mention on https://getfedor a.org/ . Also I notice it now :) , if we also have netinstall images updated, it will be awesome. About "Making a stable release like this would imply that we go through the QA " OK I know, anyway I think you should consider that, I think they will have much less work than the first release, because usually when we respin packages that are in stable releases we don't have any problem. On F25 , if I'm correct, we got rpm update of backend database and it is awful when we do an rpm command in a middle of one dnf upgrade after a fresh live installation, we got a big rpm error and and we will need rebuild rpm database I guess etc. So with one updated live or with F25.1 release we could have more sense of stability.
