Look, I'm sorry if you took offense, but the remarks disparaging my
maturity or willingness to read this list are at least as inappropriate as
any I made. Also inappropriate is any 'suggestion' that the hard pressed
staff at Red Hat maintain some sort of running update of their
distribution just to satisfy you or any others who won't contribute or
benefit from the available /Incoming and /contrib archives.
If you must have the latest and greatest of everything (except for truly
'must have' changes, like security patches), you have to do some work
yourself. The fact that it is inappropriate for Red Hat to do this for
you in the context of a supported software product has been covered
adequately in previous threads for those who have read them.
