I'm honestly not surprised, when I met with the Fedora people just prior
to 6.7 I spent most of the meeting telling them to _slow down_.

Honestly not warrented at this point, things have been stabilizing fast

Please try 6.10 - I can't get any fixes into 6.9 anymore, but if you
still run into issues on 6.10 I can fix that.
