I'm trying to understand why we have to have Fedora versions.
Fedora is a my favourite Linux however the version upgrade is
problematic when managing large numbers of machines. I have my reasons
for using it in production as a desktop, but not as a server.
Why do we have versions instead of constant updates as happens within a
version?
My understanding is that versions provide a point to make major changes.
Look at the approved change list for each release for examples.
During a release you can expect that doing an update won't break
anything (not guaranteed, but it shouldn't). However, a new release may
have breaking changes that need to be dealt with, although those are
also kept to a minimum as much as possible. Also, there can be major
interface changes like a new Gnome release or LibreOffice. It gives you
an opportunity to see the changes and prepare your users, if necessary,
before the change suddenly happens.
I assume you have some sort of automation for doing regular updates.
Would it be that difficult to add version upgrades to it?
