I have been thinking that there would be some good thought to changing the fedora is distributed to more like debian is. And before anyone slams me in this mail list, please read all the way threw. This is not to slam fedora so please don't take this way. We all agree that this is sponsored by red hat and the new tools that they test here eventually will make it into there enterprise version. In order to add it in like that red hat would want it tested thoroughly. What if fedora went to having a three system version like debian linux has. They have a stable version that would not change that often except for security fixes and such. So small companies that want to run fedora that can't afford to run red hat enterprise would not need to do all the upgrades that are necessary with the current fast release schedule that fedora is supposed to have. Then have a version called testing that is software that has been somewhat tested and pretty stable that only changes by package name not version number so in reality you are really doing minor upgrades forever as testing proceeds then you will update if you choose to do so. Then they have an unstable which is to the day, bleeding edge software and once it has proved it's self here it would be upgraded to testing and then to stable which then could be added to Red Hat enterprise version. There are a lot of companies that are too small to buy a license from redhat for the enterprise and love and have been used to the redhat systems for years now. Since redhat is moving the development of this to people and lowering their costs. They would still be getting all of the testing from the people. The people that want formal support from redhat are going to use the enterprise version anyway. The small guys will be able to gain something from it to without all the upgrades all the time. Just my 2 cents.
