Rahul, I did not accuse you of anything except your outstanding
contribution. I did say "I really get the feeling there is another
agenda at work here" and what I was hinting at, was that Redhat
are setting the Fedora agenda such that it NEVER becomes stable. <br>

<br>It did feel like you were tying my statement to this secret agenda accusation and that is pretty annoying. <br>

confuse individual opinions with that of a organization. Red Hat
has continued steadily increasing the amount of people working in
Fedora QA and efforts to make Fedora stable like update policy, test days and AutoQA don't fit into your hidden
agenda theory. Look, what you are saying doesn't make much sense. If Fedora become very unstable, community will leave and Red Hat has to spend more money and time working on stabilizing RHEL. Besides, if people don't want to pay and want to get the stability of RHEL, they can always go use a free rebuild like CentOS or Scientific Linux and Fedora's efforts in EPEL would only help them in that regard and Red Hat doesn't benefit in any way. Fedora is and has always been focused on innovation and this is no secret<br>

If you want to use something that doesn't change much and has a longer lifecycle etc, there are other distributions that fit the bill. I do think that Fedora could benefit from a slightly longer lifecyle (not 7 years but maybe 2 to 3 years) and more people participating in QA but apparently not many people are interested. If you want to participate and get involved, that is far more helpful that accusations of secret agendas. To everyone, who is now urging to talk about how they are using Fedora as a server, stop. You are missing the point. I am talking about general trends. <br>
