1) You said you aren't going to start a flamewar but still opened a
new thread shouting some random "I hate change, how dare you FORCE
something new on me" BS
2) No users upgrading should not have a degraded user experience
because some users are afraid of changes (those shouldn't be running a
distro like fedora in the first place) and to use your words they
shouldn't be "FORCED" to take manual steps to get current software
(i.e that is what the upgrade was all about after all).
3) We have a site called "bugzilla" where problems are supposed to be
reported, flamewars do not really solve problems
