Fedora isn't becoming the next Debian stable by any means. It's back to a 6 month release cycle, which at the moment is well along for FC6. If users _really_ want the latest and greatest software, they can install FC6t2. For a released distribution such as FC5, there will always be some trade-offs between stability and feature additions. josh -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
