how bleeding edge will the next fedora release be?

    I could, until Redhat went and priced themselves out of my range.  I 
could afford a few dollars a year for the privilege of downloading fixes 
from their servers;  I even bought my first couple of distros from them, 
before I got my broadband service.  I have a job and a wife, each of 
which expects 80% of my time.  I spend my days doing software testing 
and support;  when I get home I want to be able to download my email, 
browse a few web pages, and pay my bills without having to worry about 
reporting any problems I might encounter.
    Incidentally, it's the last of the above that insures I'll be using 
Win<whatever> for quite a while to come.  At least until Intuit ports 
Quicken over, or some bright programmer writes a package that runs on 
Linux and talks to my bank.
    Cheers.
