No. At least not as far as I am concerned - and I imagine 95% of Fedora users. I want a system that works, or at least that is expected to work. I don't mind what is put in fedora-development.repo as I only look there for specific applications. But I expect packages in fedora-updates to be well-tested, and that is in fact what I have always found. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
