Hi So long as Redhat/Fedora initially test all new packages in 'testing' for a few weeks before general release I don't mind. If I want a stable system, go for Debian. I have Debian on three servers for that very reason, but for a fun desktop, Fedora looks fine! I only hope that this project has the momentum to go forward.

Why the need to move the default closer to bleeding edge? This helps no one and could hurt some of us who want to use a stable distro.
