    than if it was just confined to the people who compile their version
    of X
    from the source code repository.  Yes it causes pain for some users, but
    it makes for a much more stable version for the rest of us once the
    initial bugs get worked out.


Yes, we've had this flame war before. Last time, it was said that Nvidia has no intention of updating their drivers to a new Xorg ABI until a distribution releases that version in a *stable* release. That means if every distribution waited around for Nvidia to have their drivers ready before release, we'd be waiting forever. So go bitch at Nvidia, not us. Standing around and waiting is not what Fedora is about. We move fast. Don't like it? Use something else.

Please post that on the http://fedoraproject.org/ page so everyone will understand what to expect.
