A week ago, the Fedora Project released Fedora 9 into the world. Fedora 9 comes with GNOME 2.22, KDE 4.0.3, Xfce 4.2.2, PackageKit, Firefox 3.0 beta 5, a 2.6.25-based Linux kernel, and much more. As always, the intertubes have been flooded with reviews, so we figured we would summarise a few of them.

The Fedora community made the right choice for Fedora.

In your opinion. Please do not pass off your opinion as fact.

Yes it is my opinion. It is also the opinion of the person Driving the next release of Xserver 1.5

"...It's the least buggy X server branch with the features we want.

I admit, it's not a release, and that's entirely process failure on my part.Having lots of masters to obey is not easy, and in this case my time got chewed up by other business obligations. Thanks RHEL, you're awesome. So the thing I chose to sacrifice was the (actually fairly labor-intensive) process of badging the tarball as a release. It still got bug fixes. It's ABI-stable..."

In other words the pre-release would have been a release if he had more time. It is a release in anything but name and driver have had notice of ABI stability for... at least 2 months.

So, yes it is my opinion. But I like to think it is informed after looking at both sides of the debate.
