Not at all.  But anyone new to a forum like this will get the idea that 
1,2,even 10 people with problems will reflect the stability or overall 
usefulness of a release. My posting was an attempt to point out that the 
release works for some and not for others.  It is the nature of Fedora 
to stretch the limits and issues are going to arise.

When a release does _not_ work, file a bug report, ask for assistance 
and if you can't get it to function, find a work around or, if you must, 
move to another (for you) more stable release of Fedora or another 
release altogether.

Telling everyone that the release is non-functional and should be 
recalled is not productive and wastes everyone's bandwidth.
