But then there's no need for two released and supported versions together (Fn, 
Fn-1). But if we use both - we can have even more power in filling this gap - 
Fn as current and Fn-1 as untouchable stable. Even consider rawhide as Fn+1 
for really brave men ;-) I already posted it in more details. 

But from all comments it looks like people want something rock stable, well 
tested and for this - 6 month cycle is not very well suited. There's no time 
for development and then for proper testing - so lot of unfinished and not very 
well tested stuff goes into Fedora and it starts again - lot of updates, 
breaking stuff... In circle. 

Just my 1 Czech crown (we don't have any more equivalent to cents ;-)
