They are kind of a flashback to yesterday's state-of-art. Well, DUH! Long term stability is achieved by *NOT ADDING NEW FEATURES*. *ADDING NEW FEATURES INTRODUCES NEW BUGS* *YOU CAN'T HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO* Sorry for shouting, but all of these people demanding a "Fedora LTS" don't seem to get this fundamental point. I mean really, if RHEL5 switched from KDE3.5 to KDE4.0 I'd be screaming bloody murder. Or even from BIND 9.3 to BIND 9.5. Or whatever. -- Jeff Ollie "You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair.
