Not long ago someone wrote to me:
" If you have a working system and are happy with it then why change it"
For this reason I will stay with Fedora 11 until I have unavoidable 
reason to upgrade.

Fedora 11 is complete it will not suffer from 'upgrade-itis' where 
things may break, particularly if one _has to_ run nvidia video instead 
of Nouveau. (Blender.org).

Regardless of frequency of upgrades and while I can agree with running 
latest software, I would say that Parshwa is doing good using Fedora 11. 
It is a very usable OS and everything just works.
