Hmmm... so are we or are we not claiming that the pre-release branch
is supposed to be a valid thing for people to be running if they want
a semi-rolling flavour of Fedora? Note that I'm not claiming that you
personally are claiming that. Just that I'd be willing to try
running F+1 for a cycle or two if, in fact, it's expected to be the
place our users who want a semi-rolling experience are expected to go.
If it's "just a glorified Rawhide" then there's really no point in
telling people to run it... they'll just get disgusted with Fedora's
stability and leave.
Which is what is starting to happen with current Fedora "stable"
branches given the intolerable amount of updates being crammed in.
Simo.
