Bottomley: Solving the Looming Developer Liability Problem

> If you sell a system with F52, you're on the hook to support it in its entirety; you don't get to say "to get security updates for package/feature Y you have to agree to lose package/feature Z"

That presumes the system is supplied "With Fedora *52*". Suppliers will rapidly learn. It will be supplied "With Fedora".

As far as Sony were concerned they actively advertised the PS/2 could run Linux. A lot of people bought it BECAUSE of the advertising. That was a blatant bait-n-switch. If Dell or Lenovo advertise "with Fedora", and Fedora drop a load of functionality between 52 and 53, that's not Dell or Lenovo's problem.
