Time of people who are going to dedicate themselves to keeping old bits from rotting and not being attracted to the latest shiney. The community that Fedora has grown is not really focused on that. It is focused on developing the next generation software that will be used by other distros in the future. The community that CentOS has grown is focused on stability and the lack of shiney. If Fedora wants to go more into stability focus then they need to work on growing that kind of community also. But that takes dedicated people who have lots of time to focus on that versus other issues. It takes extra build systems, extra diskspace, but most of all extra time. In the end, it is a black and white dichotomy with a volunteer oriented project: You can have stability or you can have shiney. You aren't going to have both because they are often orthoganal in design/implementation. -- Stephen J Smoogen. -- BSD/GNU/Linux How far that little candle throws his beams!
