Yet, when the default install of the newest release gets you some features that you didn't know about either..... It just seems to me that many people don't read what is new, what has changed, etc. I just think that if a feature was considered important enough to make it a default in a fresh release it should be important enough to install in an upgrade. Seems to me to be a pity that upgraded users may not be getting the same experience as the fresh install users....and may never even discover the reason why...and may install another distro and decide the other one is "better". > If it says "hey, you've now got Fedora X+1 and it has some great > features like YYYYY and ZZZZZ that you are currently missing out on - > would you like to enable them?" then that's a different proposition... > > Reasonable compromise.... I suppose a list of new features could be displayed at the end of the preupgrade in a check-box array. "These are new default apps/settings with FXX....un-check the box if you do not desire a given feature...." -- It's always darkest just before it gets pitch black.
