is officially released, I could then download the latest unity (re)spin,
 and be up to date with most updates integrated. It is conceivable that 
the (re)spin is more bug-free then the actual QA'd production release.

What 
prevents you from restricting yourselves to updating only once a week, 
if this fits your needs better?

The fact updates are being 
offered more frequently doen't necessarily mean you have to update 
"immediately".

Hi Ralf,
  
I would like to do that which I said I could do and which you suggested.
 
I am not a yum or yumex expert (which I prefer yumex to packagekit), but I would love to put in a restriction whereby to only download the primary updates that are older then a specified date. (That could be today - 7days). Is there such a facility in these products?  

I was also thinking about respins.  If a new person decides to try Fedora, why not point him to a (re)spin?  

Now that we have terabyte disks, perhaps the respin could be a delta against the official released version, much the way the current yum deltas work.  I am just tossing out ideas.
