as per the Red Hat wish list for Fedora, they mean to make it a "General
Purpose" OS for everyones need. But will it really be ?
They and Fedora Project has clearly mentioned that the releases will be on
bleeding edge release of packages. Doesn't it seem to be a all time Beta
OS ( Or I should say Red Hat Beta Release). It doesn't have a structure
like Debian of having stable, testing and unstable which IMHO should be.

Is it just me or do others get the sense that some people on this list
feel that the fedora developers owe us a stable, easy to use, easy to
upgrade, rock solid distro?
Fedora as a community distro is only as good as the community.
Have you tested the upgrade path? Have you donated money, or time in a
meaningful way to make sure fedora has a clear and bug free upgrade
path?
If not then I wouldn't be complaining about the upgrade capabilities.
