I guess there's (at least) two ways to understand "stable":

- things don't break
- things don't change

(... unless absolutely necessary, in each case)

To me, "things don't break" describes Fedora stable releases (as opposed to rawhide), and "things don't change" describes RHEL.

A typical Fedora user wants the latest if it works and should be prepared to adjust to the changes this brings with it


I disagree here. And even if you are right at this point, then they could wait 6 months for next Fedora release, can't they?


Vít


  (but not to rawhide-type breakage). A typical RHEL user wants a stable environment for reproducible computing (short of containerizing and freezing for reproducibility).

On a side-note: This is why Fedora packagers are sometimes hesitant to build for EPEL because it means going by a different notion of "stable".
