Why is Fedora partially to blame. It has been plagued with, IMHO,

bad case of jump on the "latest must be greatest" bandwagon and releasing

round of this started with Fedora 9 and Xorg 1.5 BETA. KDE 4. And this
group think problem has on and off plagued Redhat releases since version
8. If the software isn't ready then it isn't ready.
In the early days when Fedora still was Redhat - I'm speaking of Redhat 4.x -
there was a unspoken rule that uneven number versions were unstable and even
stable. Compare this with the kernel development in the old days. I ever used
the stable versions :-) With Fedora the sub-numbering was gone. Maybe now we
have it back. Fedora 9 unstable, Fedora 10 stable. What will bring Fedora 11?
P.S. EOL of Fedora 8 is less then a month - 2009-01-07 - ago and we now have a
very stable KDE desktop IMHO.
