Background: I started with Linux with slackware downloaded on 14 (?) floppy disks by ftp from MIT. I changed to Redhat and then dropped off Linux to do genealogy for a couple of years. (now we have GRAMPS and maybe I wouldn't leave Linux today) When I came back, I started again with Core 4. I was quite happy with that until Legacy went belly up. All I really wanted for updates was security updates. I am just a desktop user so my needs should be relatively small. I did a yum upgrade to core5 with few problems, apparently caused by mismatches in repos for xine. It seems to me that if one could do a realible upgrade the loss of Legacy wouldn't hurt so much and fedora would be more useful to at least the desktop users, if not the administrators. I admit that I don't really understand what problems I am asking to be solved. It might help ESR's problems too. Thank you all .
