Fedora Jon Udell's excerpt from Michael Tiemann's speech on Fedora is really interesting. The reasoning behind the Fedora development model used to be big mystery to me, but this really cleared things up. To me RedHat's approach to developing Fedora makes a lot of sense. They obviously want to have a version of Linux that is free and up to date, but since they also want to be able to sell it to corporate types, they need to make it stable. Those two objectives are usually competing. It'll be interesting to see how this pans out.
