> As for the API breakage comments, I'm not sure you're clear on the relationship of Fedora and upstream projects that are distributed by Fedora.
Who cares, what developer cares is whether the software working today will work tomorrow.
From a probabilistic point of view, the more independent parties involved (assume same breakage probability) the less the overall non-breakage probability will be.

"Who cares, what developer cares is whether the software working today will work tomorrow."
Indeed, and the original point was not 'Woo Flash, yay!', it was that even something as old, crap and unmaintained as Flash still runs on the latest Fedora. Ergo, no API breakage in Fedora. Flash is a useful illustration here, not because it's any good, but precisely because it isn't.
