Specifically, will we have a 3-digit Fedora release in May 2053 :-? It seems to me that the 6-month release cycle has traditionally been driven by two separate reasons: technology and workflow. The first is a need to accommodate major, incompatible technology shifts. The second one just introduces a natural cadence of work leading to an orderly release. Do you think the tech could stabilize enough to obviate the first reason? The 6-month workflow cadence remains a good idea, of course, but could result in a major offline upgrade, instead of an entire new distribution
who talks about a "entire new distribution"?Fedora dist-upgrades are routine tasks with YUM here for years in production so there is no "new distribution" nor a real need for going offline and any Fedora release not be able to get upgraded online would be a large step backwards
more than 20 servers installed in 2008 with F9 and now on F21 while fully online and just a reboot like a ordinary kernel update - that's how things have to work
