I agree.

I don't buy this bleeding-edge stuff.
95% of the time something doesn't work in Fedora
it is because the developer has made a typo, or other simple error.
it's not because he/she is trying the equivalent of brain-surgery.

I think the leading-edge paradigm is usually used as an excuse
for trivial errors.
These occur all the time, inevitably.
But they should not be put down to anything but human oversight.
