I am *not* a real Fedora person but this is the way that I see Fedora
working.

Rawhide, the development branch of Fedora, is on going. When the 'time
comes' there is a freeze, several actually, to stabilize things and then a
release.

The development goes on, it never really stops.

*No distro* really releases a completely bug-free, try as they might,
release. During the last freeze and the release many of these bugs are
fixed. That makes for a flood of updates. I think that is a great system.

Now. Something to think about here. A 700Gig iso of all the *current*
updates? And I only have installed, and need a 100M package. Do I d/l the
iso and burn the CD for one package? Or do I - yum update <package>
hmmm...   8-)
