In order to survive the project needs some real support from Red Hat. (Or some other large company who wants to do Red Hat a favor, but that seems even less likely.)Using the "Chasm" marketing model [*], without Legacy, Fedora is only a viable solution for Early Adopters and of dubious value to the second"Pragmatist" group. However, Fedora has been enough of a success that manyPragmatists are indeed using Fedora.I would argue that the pragmatists had been using it out of a trust model. They had used Red Hat Linux when it has crossed the chasm, and
I don't believe that Linux in general has crossed the chasm yet. I think it's *all* still in the "early adopters" stage. But within the "Linux community" (oxymoron) FC is the early adopters of the early adopters. [snip]
2) I use Fedora to alpha/beta test for the next/current Red Hat Enterprise.
How come when I state that FC is beta test, I get dog-piled, but
you don't?

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
