FWIW if it was running Fedora 14 and the user was content with it, I
probably wouldn't have upgraded to Fedora 15. You could have waited 6
months and gone straight to Fedora 16. GNOME 3 was a bit better by then.
I upgrade my *own* machines fairly aggressively — this box has been
running Fedora 18 since August 31st for example. But I don't necessarily
upgrade everyone's machine to *every* Fedora release.
I know one *nix gray beard that is still running F9 on his workstation
because it's setup just the way he likes it and it works for him.
He does not have the time to spare both from work/coding and his
personal life to spend hours to setup his system or constantly having to
upgrade/re-install fighting and patching whatever nuance that release
brings, distracting him from doing actual real work and says that's for
GNU/Linux kids, he rather spend that time with his grankids.
His upgrade cycle is tied to the life cycle of his hw...
