because if you can not isolate the problem the chances are
good taht the problem will hapenn there also on your specific
configuration, only later because feodra was earkier with
whatever was changed?

 i know that the release quality get more and more worse and hope
the people resposible for that will relize this as soon as possible
but it doe snot help screaming and running away because changes in
fedora will hit most distributons sooner or later and mostly
SUCH sort of troubles can be isolated easily

why?

because it works before you upgrade the system again
so it was not introduced with the release himself
so you can look what packages are updated

in combination with infos about your environment this can be fixed,
but with only whining nobody is able to help you, desribe your
probles as exactly as possible or your post is useless
