that contribute to the "Fedora is a rolling beta" perception (and I
don't think that's a good perception to have). If you want to target
rawhide with rolling releases of KDE, have fun. Once a release is out
the door, try not to just throw a new kitchen sink in for the hell of
it.
Some people actually LIKE rolling releases, indeed some distros use
completely rolling releases (e.g. Arch Linux). We are currently somewhere
inbetween (partly release-based, partly rolling), and IMHO this compromise
is working great. We get the advantages from a rolling release model, but
with a lot less surprise breakage as in a true rolling model because
disruptive changes like libata go only into new releases.
