Ah, the Stranger from a Strange Land returns!! Been off sailing again??
Well, back to the topic, the REALLY big deal is that Fedora as a
frenzied bleeding edge development structure is dead. Instead it will
halt at FC6, which is a blessing as the pace of keeping up with 10-30
new updates nightly has been rough. Several hundred emails a day on the
list is typical, with even more than that when FC6 hit the net. I
finally excluded kernel* from being updated as everything works for now.
I couldn't take the strain of living for the distro, instead of using
it, anymore. I think the FC team is worn out too... and they did one
helluva job, but it's time to stop, regroup, smooth out any wrinkles and
get all the repos aligned with each other and delineate the portions of
the distro package that they specialize in and make that static as well.
Hopefully. 

So, no... it's not a rose by any other name, when the change is
completely orchestrated to bring Fedora to RedHat as a combination of
the best of both. From the get go, Fedora Project is very open about
it's purpose, to have fast track rapid development stages. Well, it DID
THAT! What a ride! Now, apparently, they are through with that
development schema. They have reached a milemarker goal they set and can
add whatever it is from RedHat they want/need to make the project more
static and, thankfully, slower paced. Yessirree... we have full plates.
Now I can start to learn just what I do have and use it. As Grandma Joad
said in "The Grapes of Wrath"... "Thank GAWD fer Vittery!" Ric
