Long live Fedora > Bob Cochran Actually I should add that 6 month seems a long time for me to wait for a new release, so I go on rawhide about 2 months before the release! So long life support for Fedora really doesn't make sense, and it would be a detriment to the innovation of the community and it would take so much developer time to continue updates for a 2-year-old version. And I'm sure you understand that that developer time is better spent somewhere else. -- Armin Moradi -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
