Parent article: Blame Fedora. Again.

I'm a nvidia user since they do have nice drivers for linux, but I wouldn't think to blame
Fedora for pushing the envelope to the detriment of closed source users. I like the new
software, and for the box with an nvidia card, nobody forces me to upgrade to the latest
release. In my opinion people who feel the need to complain about the state of affairs should
be talking to their card vendor and nvidia about better support in *free* software, so one
could avoid this problem in the future. I do have Intel and ATI hardware as well, but alas the
Intel won't let me play bzflag and I haven't quite been able to figure out why yet. I'm
cautiously optimistic though.

Indeed, Fedora 8 is still supported.  So what's the problem?
