To me, "support" means that when I ask for advice and tell
someone that my installation was an upgrade they don't laugh
at me and tell me to uninstall and reinstall fresh. That is a
Windows concept, not the sort of attitude we can have with
servers and workstation machines.
You should not install test releases to production servers or
workstations in the first place. A Fedora Core test release is
_not_ "the latest bleeding edge distro" for your machine, it's
meant for TESTING! In order to meaningfully test a piece of
software the system must be in a known state, so you must be
prepared to freshly install the test system at any time.
Yes I agree. Never take a test release of anything and put it on a
production or serious machine. Personally I have a bunch of spare hard
drives that I devote to test releases. I wipe them clean and do a fresh
install each time.
And I don't expect a 'Test' anything to work right.
