Ah, Jesus, SHUT UP. Go hate somewhere else. The whole Beefy Miracle thing is probably the funniest and most community-endearing thing that Fedora has had in a long time. And I LOVE it.

Fedora is a community and a private project. RedHat needs Fedora as a testbed for future RH Linux enhancements. How can RH test that a release is bug free?

Fedora developers (paid and volunteer), work their best to distribute bug-free code. But a few hundred developers cannot test a few thousand packages, and that is why there is alpha, beta, Release candidates and release versions.

My experience with Fedora has always been positive. It works, it is secure, it is fast, and it is reliable. Other distributions stay 6 months or so behind, to let leading distributions take the risk for the new features. I always do what I can do to further Linux development.
