I have to agree too.

Like I said in reply to Gene's posting about three hours ago, I'm 
annoyed that something that was functioning perfectly (on FC5) a few 
days ago is now screwed up and not working. To the extent that this 
morning I've wiped Fedora from the hard drive of the office computer 
and installed Dapper Drake. After running the updates and setting the 
screen resolution, when I plug a flash drive into a USB socket it 
mounts it and puts an icon to the drive on the desktop i.e. it "just 
works" like FC5 used to but now does not. As the blog says this must 
be down to a lack of attention to detail and not properly testing 
updates before they are sent out i.e. human error.

I doubt whether fixing things like this will now be receiving much 
priority with the F7 release being imminent, which is a shame. IMHO 
there is nothing wrong with using a fast moving distribution like 
Fedora, but when a version is getting towards the end of its life it 
should be left alone in a fully working state that we can continue to 
use until ready to upgrade.
