Fedora 15 dropped Gnome 2, right? Am I misreading this thread?

Yes, I'm really glad Ubuntu still has it. For now...

It did, but Fedora 14 is still a supported release.

Ha ha ha. Very funny. In theory that's true. In the real world, try logging a bug against anything but Rawhide or the latest released version, and it'll sit there until however many months are needed for it to be automatically closed for being too old. I like Red Hat. And Fedora is still my preferred distribution of choice. But it's getting harder and harder to defend that position with each new release, and I find myself looking around for alternatives. Sadly, outside of Ubuntu (which I wouldn't touch with a 10' barge pole), there's not a lot of choice.

Look at the amount of updates for Fedora 14 and it becomes very hard to see your statement as true. It is true that more things will get fixed in development branch or the latest version and that is true for any distribution
