That's not entirely true. The latest "stabe" Sage is 4.6, which was released on the 31st of October (30 days ago). Sage fails to build on the latest Fedora (version 14), which was released on the 4th of November - i.e. after the latest Sage. Ultimately, Fedora is very much a test system for Redhat, in the same way that OpenSolaris was for Sun., A compromise has to be made between having the latest features, and having high stability. Backwards compatibility does not appear to be very good with Fedora.
