Read the archives, I was repeatedly shot down with the 'bleeding 
edge technology' line when I complained about lilo's complete removal.

I see a bit more than 10%, and within that 10% is very very common and 
heavily used everyday programs, lets see how long it takes something like
apache and sendmail and bind to be updated :)

Which is one of the reasons I no longer use any Fedora hacked daemons.
or Fedora at all on any servers in my data center.

Oh yeah that reminds me 'Fedora is bleeding edge technology you shouldnt 
be running on servers if you wanted a stable environment', 
that I forgot was another common line that used to be throw around.

I don't give a toss if I'm lablled a troll, which I will be because I 
am 'rocking the boat', nor do I care that the truth hurts most people and 
when they pop out of the woodwork to label people trolls, they stand out 
as one themselves :)

This concludes this weeks rant.
