We, as a distro, just take a different approach.
To be bleeding edge requires to have releases often.
Such a bleeding edge distro that it took 4 years for Swift to arrive,
or still trying to get rid of Python 2.
Fedora has become "bleeding edge" in sense of being unstable, unreliable
and containing immature, experimental features.
Regardless of what we think Fedora is or isn't, a look outside of
Fedora shows an overall Linux community that appears to be
increasingly ignoring Fedora.
Absolutely. Fedora once was a pretty solid end-user distro and
fun-project for devs. Now it has become an unstable, experimental
"bleeding edge" distro with a more and more balloning overhead.
Part of this discussion needs to be around the combined issues of
getting more maintainers and getting more users.
My feeling is part of the solution is to move to a yearly release
cycle.
This would be my proposal, also. I would simply extend the release
cycles to 1 year and to return to the roots. I.e. make a distro, and
drop "rings" "modules" and "spins".
