yes, but again: this is well for new installations but
a automatic chnge of upgraded systems is bad and if
is really bad if F14 users (6 months supported from now on)
to be forced update to F15 systemd because their graphcis driver
for F14 will not supported and Kernel 2.6.35 does also not
support the network card from "Sandy Bridge"

it is not really maintainable over 6 months because every moment
upstream could change depecndencies which will not fit for F14
and you are sitting there with a kernel without security updates

additionally a GLIBGC update is inasive because it is one of the core
libraries and no F14 binary is tested/designed for this
combination

yes

because i have a brand new hardware (the old one was unuseable)and
"systemd" was the reason to not install F15 THIS TIME to have
a buffer playing on a test-system with F15/systemd

so now i have the options of a upgrade to F15 while much work,
hughe health troubles and 2 weeks holidays are priority one
in my life this time

the other option is that one network card will not work
and graphics performacne while moving a windows feels
like 10 years ago and sometimes the desktop freezes for
some seconds or minutes
