I read 2-3 months for "Fedora Core," giving people time to test, transition, 
etc...

And that's fine with me.  People who need 1+ of support need to pay for it.  
There is no such thing as a free lunch, only free speech.

There is no greater ignorance than the popular American environ-

recycling the world's most renewable resource or refusal to use
proven CFC insulation on launch vehicles, no lives will be spared
in the further pursuit of, ironically, harming the environment.
