If he was in the majority, then fedora would have a long "support" lifetime. 6 months is the time frame those doing the heavy lifting felt would be best to keep things up to date, but not falling apart. So reiterate... how do I know? Simple, it isn't so. If there is a large majority of people who want a long real cycle, they best get to work and contribute the necessary resources to get that done - but then you'll be leaving out those of us who like the short lifetimes. -- Fedora 7 : sipping some of that moonshine ( www.pembo13.com )
