Just curious.  Has Redhat ever given up the philosophy "it's a new version, it
must be ready for prime time"?  I know they have released less than reliable
versions in the past.  Example, there is a new version of GCC that breaks a lot
of packages.  Is Redhat storming ahead with this like they did a couple of years
ago?

I'm pretty much isolated from this stuff on gentoo stable, but I read about lots
of grief from the early adopters.
