[PHILOSOPHY] Stability and Release Schedules

[John Wendel]

Here's your chance to slap me up side of the head!

Reading the Debian thread (and others) has made me wonder why Fedora 
has to have "releases" at all. Why not have a continuously evolving 
distribution? One would start by downloading an "installer system" 
that would then use the existing mechanisms (yum, whatever) to update 
itself. From this point on, why would one need "releases"? Just keep 
releasing updates and new packages exactly as things are done now.

I know there must be something wrong with this scenario; would someone 
like to hit me with a clue stick.

Regards,

John
