Hello all,

I've been lurking this list for quite some time now, waiting for a good
reason to post... Seems that I found one.

Let me first point out that this is not a rant; I understand that the
Fedora Core is supplied "as is" and that the FC development team isn't
working *for me*. In short, they don't owe me anything.
Plus, being a Linux developer myself, I can appreciate the *perceived*
(in my eyes) lack of interest in dealing with (what-seems-to-be-in-my-
eyes) bugs, when the FC5 development is at full swing.

I'm not trying to start a flame war; I am trying to understand the
direction in which the Fedora Core foundation is heading, and make my
own decisions as a result. (Roll back machines to FC3, keep others at
FC2/3, switch to another distro, etc)

Three months ago FC4 was released; as expected, being bleeding edge FC4
was buggy as hell (compared to FC2/FC3). However, living on the bleeding
edge comes at a price, and I'm willing to pay it.

Like any good user, I did my best to report what-ever bugs I saw:
Some of them were fix promptly:

Missing KDE screensavers: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=161312

LVM2 boot problems: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=164250

But others were not:
gpilotd segfaults:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=156646
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=160926

Python gtksourceview:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=162403
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=161223

GDB segfaults when debugging libraries:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=161401

Thus far, nothing new. FC4 has known bugs that are being (slowly?)
addressed.

i've to add this bugs too as very annoying and long standing:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=165658
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=165859
