Are people running FC > installations truly in earnest of implementing software so quickly? Everytime any version as been withheld as updates there have been requests for it. So I assume they are. Kernel is one of top five components getting the largest number of bug reports for a long time simply because it is critical and covers a large amount of core aspects of the system and all these updates fix a ton of them. > Seems like another software outfit liked to push testing of their core > OpSys out onto the end users shoulders. What is OpSys? Core development and testing is to be done within the external community too and that needs to be much more than what is present currently.

Not necessarily all the best of breed components but what fits into RHEL product space. RHEL is open source too. So its Free in that aspect > A code split?

If you got any specific questions, let me know especially if that understanding is relevant to Fedora.
