Yes, I've read about these problems before, which is why I emphasized my experience. Thanks to this interview I now know why (Ted mentions specific steps taken by a Fedora maintainer which is also one of the *upstream* developers of ext4). > Oron, I kindly disagree with you.

F10 has been shipping and updating the KMS and video drivers during the last 5 months (and as I said earlier, it was very buggy in the beginning). This code has been used by a lot more than KMS developers machines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Statistics This doesn't mean there are no bugs. But claiming we are just starting the bug squashing now is far fetched.
