IMHO, We'll only be able to have this discussion once people stop presenting
API/ABI changes as breakage. Once we've got that straw man out of the way,
we might be able to discuss this constructively.
Interfaces broken by mid-version updates are just as broken in fedora as
they would be in RHEL and it's not any more a straw man for one
distribution than another unless you are willing to say that one is only
suitable for testing. If you want to say the changes are a good thing,
then lets see them in RHEL too. But, if you want to put that aside for
the moment, firewire will make a great example. Do you forsee a time
when you would keep your own backups or valuable data on a firewire
drive under fedora?
