Well I suspected from my usage that EPEL with Extras does not move
faster. Hence why I suggested that those interested may want to create
a 'Current' repo. To pull in newer packages that they feel are stable.
I am aware that such doesn't exist, and 'Current' is just a
placeholder for the idea. I myself see little value in it, but some
seem to.

Are there any distros which are very current, stable _and_ source of a
lot of development in the Linux/FOSS community? Seems to me, that once
can any given distro can only have two out of three of those
properties.

IMHO: If dropping any idea of stability meant a 50% (just an arbitrary
positive number) increase in dev productivity, I'm all for it.
