Otherwise, FEDORA will always remain a work in progress, with an uncompleted phase or no base zero to fall back on, sort of regrouping. Doesn't the kernel need a occasionally freeze before continuing on? Maybe this business step/process should be incorporated into the Model/Project as a milestone or event and have an ISO team. Hummm.... (again) We're building a house, but you can't move in yet because the basement isn't finished and we're changing the furnace but if you know what you're doing then use these base board heaters because the house got bigger with other adjustments that you requested. Reminds me of a so called story about "Casa Loma" in Toronto, Ontario where the owner felt that if he had ever finished the castle he would die. So the castle was always in a state of reconstruction.
