What type of large commercial organisation lets undisciplined people make adverse changes detrimental to the reputation and ultimate success of its 'stable' commercial product. Since Enterprise Linux is supposed NOT to be Windoze, consistency is very important especially for the paying (R.H.) customers. It is also much appreciated by its devout fans and the hardworking guardians of the Centos cloned version.
* The dramatic upheaval in C7; * The claimed life-span of C5 truncated by no more normal upgrades; * The changes introduced in C6.6, during the lifetime of an allegedly stable C6 product;
all seem to suggest Upstream lacks a clear, reliable and dependable strategic policy (or what some call a 'sense of direction').
Happy New Year to all to everyone.
