That IMHO is a general problem in Fedora and IMHO one of the biggest
problems of Fedora.
But it's also one of the often-posited strengths of Fedora -- we push
the edge forward which in the end benefits everyone
One examples from the last two years: the new firewire stack JuJu. It
afaics is a improvement now, but it was a bit to early when we shipped
it as the "one and only" Firewire stack.
Fedora as a whole IMHO should act a bit more like the kernel developers
that have that "no regressions in new kernels" as goal -- they don't
reach that goal completely but they are quite close afaics.
Kernel developers might argue about the success there. It definitely
doesn't match a lot of experiences I see from blogs, bugzilla, random
other reading of the internets :/
