<sigh> Here we go again.

Please, instead of starting another to-me-it-seems, it's-obvious-that, 
conspiracy-theory, abandonment-tragedy thread... please read the Fedora 
Project's website. The first two lines indicate:

      "The Fedora Project is a Red-Hat-sponsored and
      community-supported open source project. It is also
      a proving ground for new technology that may eventually
      make its way into Red Hat products. It is not a
      supported product of Red Hat, Inc."

YES, Red Hat may and probably later will use pieces of Fedora technology 
for RHEL. NO, this is not the *purpose* of the Fedora distribution. For 
more detail see the "About" [1] and "Objectives" [2] pages.

Were you around when RHL 8.0 and 9 came out? Either you weren't or you 
don't remember people screaming *bloody murder*, begging to be taken back 
to 7.3 or even 6.2, threatening to go to SuSe, lambasting gcc-2.96, NPTL, 
take your pick. Red Hat Linux did a fair bit of pushing the boundaries and 
some people wanted lots more stability... they got RHEL. Some people 
bitched that RHL didn't move fast *enough*... they got Fedora.

This is not an *experiment*, damn it, it's an operating system that wants 
to be leading-edge. As such it's going to have some rough edges. That is 
the nature of the game.

Cheers,
