Fedora 9 feature preview - kernel modesetting

[Rahul Sundaram]

Hi,

Yet another feature we need to highlight. Probably in the release notes 
too for the web version.

This means that work on BetterStartup may be resumed and feature 
implemented in Fedora 10?

Is there any way we can get people to move the writing energy from their
blogs to the release notes?

It is hard to take a "neat semi-hidden feature" seriously when the only
way we hear about it is through someone's blog.  We cannot be chasing
people's blogs looking for feature information -- that is why we have
one, central way to track features, and one, central way to gather
release notes.  A personal blog is not an example of these.

Every release I'm tempted to put as much energy into publicizing these
release notes as the developer has, that is, next to none.  Will people
finally learn if we stop rewarding them for bad behavior?

This is not intended as a slight against arlied, he's just the latest
example in a multi-year string of examples.

I have personal given up on that goal. I am happy developers are talking 
about what they are doing *somewhere*. I can't say we are doing that 
collectively for a lot of interesting things we are doing. I am sure I 
could give you a long list of examples from the past but I think you 
already know what I am talking about.

I have personally pretty much given up on that goal. I am happy 
developers are talking about what they are doing *somewhere*. I can't
