5) TSS does not have plans to update KDE for YDL v4.1. This is due to a
somewhat complicated web of devel history and delves into the reason YDL v4.1
shipped as it did. While this has been covered in one or more
interviews/reviews of v4.1, the quickest summary is that we were caught in a
hard place last year, trying to maintain binary compat between YDL v4.0 and
v4.1 for our mission critical customers while upgrading to what would build
against the mixed FC3, 4, and 5 packages, libraries, and kernel. The result,
to be honest, was a challenge. We shipped what we did and when we did given
the best compromise at that time. While v4.1 was (and remains as such) a more
complete, out-of-the-box OS than FC5 (in terms of support of hw), it does
fall behind in the version of many packages.
6) We have a beta of YDL v5.0 in-house, built cleanly from FC5. This is
initially for our OEM BSP customers with plans to release in Q4 of this year.
Many thanks for the clear and reassuring answer. I will upgrade to
4.1, and thence later.
Best, Ted
