Did I say otherwise? (okay, yes, maybe I drifted away to a "big picture view" a bit and didn't make that explicit ;-) ) Let me put it in different words: I prefer the current Fedora way with a steady pile of updates over what other other popular desktop distributions do where you don't get new drivers for a distribution once they were shipped. >> But On the other hand I agree that there are many rushed/untested updates. > All I wish is that we don't throw away the results of the development > cycle so carelessly: [...] +1 Especially building and shipping a new upstream release in all supported branches at nearly the same time seems totally wrong to me, but is what a lot of people do. Thx do the bodhi and the testing repos at least the releases for the stable branch now get a bit delayed.
