If not us, who's going to report bugs back to them, then? After
FC5
release I saw _only_ FC5 users posting on GNOME's bugzilla about bugs
I've seen. In less than a month we got many updates, one of them
incorporated a patch made by myself on my fresh FC5. I'm not an every
day Fedora or GNOME developer, but the open-source model worked this
time. Who knows, maybe the 2.14.1 release would have the bug still there
without FC5 being so bleeding-edge? If you're so scared of testing the
x.y.0 releases, just wait a month from next Fedora Core release for the
updates to appear, then use it happily :)
Or adjust the schedule so that this type of pain can happen in the Test
releases so that we don't inflict broken packages on unsuspecting users.
I really don't like the idea of 'Oh, that's final release, don't use it
for another couple of weeks...'
