Maybe the majority can maybe they can't. But as evident by this thread
even fedora *developers* don't want to deal with such stuff.
But rather get work done. Do you really think that users are that much
different?

That basically means you don't release anything and just release a
huge update every six months. Don't really see what this gains us
other then installation becoming an untested path.
The installation process and images have to be up2date though to be
able to deal with current hardware.
