And I take it that they will resolve almost all (95%) of the open 
issues from FC2 without applying fixes (or a fix to a fix).
Why move forward when you haven't resolved the old problems?
Why the urgency? Let's get a solid base before moving forward 
otherwise there will be too many issues unresolved or
 FEDORA will jeopardize their good name and will turn a lot of 
other people who were undecided and go after another developer.
Is that what you want? MAYBE - FEDORA should go the route of 
SOURCEFORGE and their CVS route.

At this rate of change - why not start creating application RPM 
folders that will contain e.g. mozilla, xorg and the likes, for 
upgrades since you guys will know what changes there have been 
made, and organizations like mozilla, xorg ,etc... can 
concentrate on their own application upgrades rather then trying
to keep up to your changes. Because you guys have tested them 
out before each release, haven't you.
