Now, this is a great idea.  No more worrying about upgrades or do I have 
enough time before the next release to make all the changes.  What about 
he secondary repositories for things that will never be in Fedora proper 
that you have to wait to be released.

I would like to see Fedora 7 or Fedora 8 become just Fedora and then no 
more 6 month release dates.  Just updates to what would be the next release.
