We don't want to get updates from FL. We'd like support for the outgoing 
release (FC3 now, FC4 next time) to remain as it was until the second 
successor is out and (somewhat) stabilised, so there are always two 
releases supported by FP.


Jo and I (and a lot of others) switched from RH back when RH announced 
its changed arrangements, and the commencement of the Fedora project 
because neither RH not FC provided what we wanted.

We've dabbled in others including Debian, Ubuntu, SUSE, 
Mandrake/Mandribble and some others.

I currently run Debian/Woody, Debian/Sarge, Ubuntu, FC3, SUSE 10 and 
WBEL, so I know what the major alternatives are,

We're asking just for a teensy extension to the support offered by FP. 
Instead of 13 months for FC3, maybe 14 (FC5+1 say, instead of FC5-1).
