Hi Fred and all,
Well, I understand although disagree. If one doesn't want upgrades,
there are other systems like Debian stable. Besides upgrades aren't
mandatory, as ToddandMargo said, if you don't want them simply turn
them off. Last but not least, why do you need to reinstall? Upgrading
from one version to another is as smooth as it can be. I don't see
reinstalling as a pain, in any average computer will take only few
minutes, but well, it's understandable that you may not want to go
through it. But what reinstalling for? Why not just upgrading the
system? Am I missing something?
Kind regards,
Silvia
Updates are necessary if you want to keep it secure. Many distros
are new annually or more often, and only keep issuing patches for
the most recent or two most recent releases.once you go past that
point you're asking for trouble.
Not wanting to do a full upgrade annually doesn't mean I want an
insecure system.

I am somewhat perplexed at the above. No one is
forcing you to update Fedora. Just turn off your
updates. I am not seeing what your complaint is.
