of that that would be unique is the commitment to upstream -- something which will be appreciated by few I don't think that's fair at all. Fedora is unique in a lot of ways, and a waterfall of updates isn't essential to that uniqueness. -- Matthew Miller mat...@mattdm.org Senior Systems Architect

it nicer for some purposes (like a derived distribution). My point isn't to argue about the relative virtues of different technology, but that key points of the distribution-glue are unique.

to System Daemons perhaps it could go there and not get lost, but I suspect system admins would need to make lots of changes to their init scripts and I would think the first place they would look would be Boot. Can we cross-reference things? It's reasonable to look for it there. -- Matthew Miller

refining the feature process

: generally, one month after the previous release, and maybe sooner for changes affecting critical-path components. Then, the main decision for default/not-default could be at the point of the alpha release, with a second re-check before beta release. Features should not be reverted after beta. -- Matthew

, take a look at running Rawhide. I do on my primary desktop machine at work, and it's great. That said, I think the process for update this component to a new point release must necessarily be different from the one for replacing a core component with a completely new design. -- Matthew Miller
