Congrats, hope it is stable, lots of changes to key packages. Glad to see Fedora become a true community project, there's room for a bleeding-edge distro managed by the community. Will be interested to see how Extras shapes up.

Will Fedora ever become comparable to Debian, with bleeding-edge options and stable options as well? Perhaps Fedora could support a few more packages as well.

Fedora is actually pretty stable.
My question is whether Debian will ever be comparable to Fedora, providing bleeding edge packages with security updates, too. (What other distro could ever get away with not providing security updates to its most popular releases?)
By the way, if you want a slower (but predictable) release cycle (unlike the total unpredictability of Debian) and you want it in a free, community supported form, check out Centos 4.1.

Thanks anyway, but Debian already has everything you need and alot more. You just need to learn how to use it. Its very easy if you are willing to put in a little effort.
