Who exactly are you angry with? Even if there are people on this list
who are actively involved in the development and release process, it's
hardly fair to get angry with anyone for producing something for free
and giving you the option of using it if you so choose.

To Phil Hibbs: Who says I am angry? Did I put whole sentences in capital
letters? NO! I am deeply discouraged and cannot understand why this
constant cycle of upgrade SEEMS to be mandatory
This is the life blood of open source projects. Catching problems (bugs,
design flaws as well as lacking features) early allows the developers to
take the appropriate measures before other features get built on top
of it. With frequent releases, this feedback loop is much tighter.
and I am tired of it!
Beta software is not mandatory. If frequent releases aggravate you,
please consider using the stable versions and upgrading only when
absolutely required.
It is bad enough in the Windows side of the house ,but it is even worse
in the Linux side of the house! I now know, of course, that there are
Linux distros that are longer between cycles than Fedora is, and when my
Linux SIG reconvenes in September I will get some help in changing to
one of them or even possibly making my Linux computer a dual-boot with
another distro added, not removing my Fedora since I did pay for it
despite all the gas about Linux being free! As I stated in my last
message to you, I do have certain health problems that preclude me from
indulging in stupid leading edge experiments which is what I was trying
to tell you in the first place, as well as all the other people I have
been trying to communicate with! :-(
There are many people on the list who experiment with beta versions of
software. Since nobody is being forced to try beta software, I don't see
a problem here. It is your choice.
