I would just like to add an observation.  I have been a member of this
Fedora Users site for 5 years.  I have noticed that at some point after
the release of a new version of Fedora a long OT thread develops.
Usually after 6 weeks to 2 months after the release.  It kind of signals
that there are no major problems remaining with the release and that
instead of Bugs and Support, a little community building is going on.  I
look forward to such a long OT thread after each release.

Often the threads are started by Trolls and everybody jumps in even if
they know better.  In this case, the OP's question although somewhat OT
prompted positive and interesting feed back that let some of us get a
better feel for who people behind posts are, who heretofore were just
recognizable names.

As I say, I always look forward to the 'every thing is ok with this
release' thread.
