"as you actively did this month" - where?

*no i did not* you only read it like that

yes, but they pay people to dedicate their full time and if that people
are doing bug-triage and only bug-triage for relevant components they
find more than a person working at free time for Fedora can do

not to belittle anybody
simply the fact a day has only 24 hours

no, you only took it as abuse because you wanted to do so

one release too early, 100% for sure
systemd and oterh services working with it in F16 was somehow OK
the release state of F15 was completly unacceptable for anybody
outside the "my personal computer" area

again: my intention was *not* to belittle anybody

because it *has* serious regressions in F20 which are acceptable
on a desktop, otehrwise i would not have written a mail woth the
subject "general compliment for F19/F20"

but hey are a problem on a server
sorry that i am one of them driving a lot of servers with Fedora and care baout

where did i say that?

i only honestly know if MySQL and some other services would have been migrated
to systemd in the first release replace upstart i would not felt that often
tempted to throw all the IT out of the next windows and with F16 that things
where *mostly* fine while some services are still not converted or at least
where not a few months ago :-)
