Here are my two cents (or tuppence, deux centimes, dos centavos, zwei 
pfennigen, or whatever):

When I first upgraded from FC3 to 4, I had problems--problems that did 
not resolve until two or three rounds of updates to core packages.

When I heard the complaints about 5, I passed on the upgrade.

As regards 6, I would much preferred a delayed release to one rife with 
bugs.

I agree: Take your time and do it right. The developers will do no 
favors either to the community or to Red Hat by rushing a release.
