Hrm... s'pose that's a valid use. So long as there
is a valid reason
for munging the release number each time I'm ok with
doing it. I just
hate doing things for the sake of doing things
because that's just been
done since before I got here and we can't change
anything (:

Ok, since we already have Fedora 9 Alpha, is the
number going to change to 8.91 or stay with 8.90. Is
there going to be an update to /etc/fedora-release or
will it stay like is?
Will there be another way to keep track how much
updated are we with respect to the updates that have
been released?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. :)
Regards,
Antonio
