It will be kind of hard for anyone making software to say "Works well on fedora core 5, if you exclude these packages, or haven't/have updated before/after xx-xx-xxxx" To me a 'supported' (bad word to use I know :-)) release would mean that its API/ABI stable, but security fixes are made available, and if something works with 'FC-5', then it should work with FC-5 :-) To me, as a user it would be a frustrating experience to suddenly find that after an 'update' suddenly things don't work as expected anymore .. Even though some people might have something of an resentment against binary applications or drivers, I don't see why we have to be 'against' them either and go out of our way to break them 'because we can', fedora is a platform for many things.. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
