That would truly be a shame! I have used Fedora since 13/14.....and I've 
loved every version of it! But if they start cranking out something that 
isn't "reliable" enough for me to work on daily.....I might have to 
either stick with F17 (which will eventually leave me "stranded" on a 
distro that won't receive updates anymore!) or else I'd have to jump 
ship and move to something else...which would really be a shame because 
I'm a "loyalist"....in which case....since I've been here for so long 
I'm kind of devoted to 'em...(I have t-shirts....stickers....coffee mugs 
etc. wih the famout Fedora "F" logo!) But I will wait and see if F19 
comes out and "levels" off....I'm thinking they might have just been in 
a bit if a hurry to get F18 out the door....since it was already late to 
the party! Only time will tell...

P.S  -Sorry about the "J.Z." thing...I was in a rush to get my response 
to you...(had to reboot my machine and didn't want to wait until after 
wards!!)
