And you really shouldn't be using a Fedora release as a Major Development
Platform. That's not what Fedora is designed and meant to be. That's a far
better job for RHEL where you've got promised ABI/API stability, a very long
lifespan, and a lot of effort to ensure things don't change with the updates.
Fedora is a more free flowing tool for evaluating technology, where things
can and do churn, change, and sometimes break.
