I agree, but unfortunately, it's not the case of Fedora. By having a
rolling release policy for the kernel, we're forcing users to deal with
kernel versions.
I follow user forums quite a lot and I read it every day: I updated and
my wireless card stopped working, my computer doesn't wake up from
suspend, the system is now much slower. New kernels bring a lot of
regressions and we don't have enough test coverage to avoid them. The
general solution to those problems is to go back to the last working
kernel version. But by making it less obvious we make these frequent
problems more difficult to solve.
