I've always found that some Fedora policies are far from as bleeding
edge as observers would believe.

However, this seems to place Fedora in a weird position -- between
what most now consider to be the bleeding edge distro, Arch,. and what
many consider to be the stable distro, Ubuntu. What niche does fedora
intend to fullfill?
