The issue is stability in the bug sense, but in the application sense. It is a real pain to have application interfaces changing rapidly on a production system. Fedora changes too rapidly to be desirable for most production uses.
Its a side-effect of the very active development being used by open source projects coupled with the popular release early release often model that many individual software projects adhere to. We simply can't have our cake and eat it to. In a world with competing demands for finite developer resources... long-lived interface specs come at a maintainence cost. Inferface instability is the price we all pay for an organic development model. Better interface stability will only come when individual projects decide to make forwards and backwards compatibility a more important priority to use available project resources on. This isn't the sort of thing distributions can enforce on projects without impacting the rate of new technology adoption into the distro. -jef"In a world filled with nothing but imperfect solutions, to ill-posed problems, a few shots of tequila for breakfast is the only safe bet"spaleta -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
