There is plenty of "pre-release" quality software in the "stable"
distribution of Debian. For example, Mozilla M14 is in the "stable" part of
2.2, but it is far from stable. Most distros include some software that isn't
quite finished. Heck, a lot of Open Source software never has a "finished"
state!

Red Hat 7.0 does appear to have been subjected to rather substandard QA
procedures.
On the other hand, I think you might be just a little biased against Red
Hat, Tony. ;-)

Right, like all those other software companies do. ;-)
