A minority view, I guess.
I don't want to see any new packages.
I would like to see more effort devoted to making sure
the current packages work properly,
with minimal documentation.
I've just upgraded to FC-3 on a number of machines.
The serial mouse did not work on one machine.
X did not work on my laptop (Sony C1VFK)
despite a 6 month old patch in Xorg bugzilla.
System Settings=>Network does not set up Profiles properly.
My laptop CD drive (Sony CD51) is not supported,
though it worked under Redhat-8.0.
If I want a way-out program I'm happy to look for an RPM
and if I don't find it to compile the program.
But otherwise I just want a quiet life without surprises.
