Hi All;
Thank God that the shouting has started early.
To me, it usually signifies a successful version release.
Within only 10 weeks of Fedora 10's release we once again have people
debating Fedora philosophy, ranting about basic components, and trolling
with CAPITALS, using sarcasm, and double (??) question marks.
This thread is up to 60 responses so far. Almost every familiar name on
the list is hard put not to add their two cents.
As a user of Fedora since FC2, I have come to learn that when this
starts on the mailing list it usually means there are very few real
problems to deal with. Yet with 4 months to go before the Fedora 11
scheduled release, list participants feel the need to communicate with
each other. So, let the games begin; let's have some verbal fun.
"The universe is unfolding as it should."

I do not understand how Fedora expects you to upgrade or reinstall--
every 6 months or so.
This is just not right.
Should a distro keep continuing to make you install every six months,
if so, I would rather use Microsoft. Why not provide updates, major
ones, to the already installed OS instead of having to reinstall a new
OS!!! I imagine that this, if done in an organized way, could be
easier on the developers of Fedora.
INSTEAD OF MAKING CONSUMERS INSTALL EVERY SIX MONTHS OR UNTIL THE
UPDATES STOP, JUST PROVIDE LARGE UPDATES THAT UPGRADE A SYSTEM WITHOUT
HAVING TO DO A COMPLETELY NEW INSTALL???
THEN YOU WILL HAVE A LARGER FAN BASE AND A MORE STABLE OS!!!
