Yes, I know the history - I just have a knee-jerk reaction when someone says they upgrade frequently and never have problems. It really just means they weren't using any of the features that changed or went away. > Fedora Core 2 was definitely a "revolutionary" .0, and things break, and > Fedora Core 3 was more of an "evolutionary" .1 based on changes done in > Fedora Core 2.
