I agree !!! What the best way to adopt : The "nofear user" who wants to be the more uptodate as possible have to still upgrade from rawhide? The users who looks for stability just have to update from "os and updates " repository? the hybrid users in addition to the stability solution will add the testing repository? Is it possible to automatically update the stable release (core + update, eventually testing), and update "on demands" the rawhide new features. And if it's possible how to configure the rhn-applet to show us the source of the updates (core,updates,testing,rawhide...) > > > I was really hoping for a strong statement in the release annoucements > that upgrading from a test release is not exactly the most advisable > thing to do.
