I have complaints about Fedora, but lack of dedication is not one. They were 
there over the four day US holiday (at least enough to cover problems), they fix 
things quickly, etc. I do wish that things got at least a little testing between 
updates-testing and release, and that would prevent some of the recent SElinux 
and dbus access and permissions learning experiences.

This one was a special case, not intended to go out so quickly, but a policy 
change would be welcome, to assure testing of new packages, at least for obvious 
things like permissions, missing requirements, and "won't even ____ing boot!" cases.
