+1 for this suggestion!

I would certainly make use of an "unstable" or "experimental" branch
distribution of Rivendell. It might even motivate me more to contribute
code...

Thanks Fred!

More like 12 months actually. You can read about the specifics at:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases 


Main point being though: *much* faster than RHEL (which has a 10 year support 
lifetime).

Cheers!

I am not sure that would be helpful to me.  There is a big breakdown with
me also where the Centos stuff involves income being earned and the other
stuff is for learning or fun. A 6 month cycle could remove a lot of the
fun...

So, no need to go to the trouble on my account but if others would find it
useful, I will give it a spin and see how it goes.

Hmm. Do we need to start producing RPMs for Fedora? That way, experimenters 
would have access to a setup that includes all of the ‘bleeding edge’ stuff 
(along with the understanding that the support cycle is limited to the usual 6 
month Fedora rotation). That could also be a great proving ground for Rivendell 
changes, before they show up in the ‘stable’ RHEL versions.

Cheers!
