How so? When the upstream package provider releases a new version, and
they'll have reasons for doing so,  everyone downstream would also
update, unless the distro doesn't get to it immediately... I would see
that as a drawback, not a plus. If one wishes to keep compiler and major
kernel releases current, it may take a entire install to avoid a host of
little naggling issues. So, I just backup the directories that have my
custom stuff, then re-install which only takes a couple of hours, fire
it up and restore. Piece O cake. Each time it's always been a major
improvement. The guys at RH/FC are at the top of the game, have a ton of
experience, and for that I trust them. I have not been failed yet. Ric
