It's rare in Fedora too. I fact I can't remember any other instance right away (there may have been some), and I've been running rawhide continuously on my home system for about a decade.

I don't use Fedora but I keep reading articles like this one (LWN, 01/2009)

You keep reading this kind of article because Fedora is a very active and open project. Fedora makes headlines about its problems because it always tries to improve, so heated post-mortem public discussions are common and expected.

Users of other distributions seem to prefer tip-toeing around problems to avoid giving their choice a bad rep.
