And to be more blunt about it.. it won't help first impression from the reviewers who run a distro just long enough to figure what they like and don't like about it and want to get their review in within the first week of a release. How many people end up relying on the first impression of others to form their own impressions? Adaptive methods that only help boot speeds after multiple reboots with extended usage pattern trending isn't really going to impact the impression people have one damn bit. And it wont help livecds where state information is lost between reboots. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
