This essentially says that after 12 or 18 months all software in Fedora
is bug free and does not need any updates. This is a very strange
assumption. E.g. why do we stop supporting the software after it became
totally stable? IMHO this claim cannot reasonably be made.
There is a difference between "stable" and "bug free". Known
limitations are preferable to moving targets.
Again: if we kept updating everything to the very latest thing all the
time, why even bother doing releases. Everyone would just run rawhide.
Right?
