How good does our release model with its roots in the 90s (when the internet was young and yum/dnf didn’t even exist) fit the expectation of what users these days expect from containers and Flatpaks? A lot of people afaics want “latest and greatest upstream version” these days especially when it comes to containers and Flatpack, which will sometimes collide with the release cycle and the update policies for Fedora afaics.
That’s among the reasons why I proposed a different release model recently with releases every few weeks and two distro streams (e.g. an approach similar to that of Firefox and Firefox ESR): knurd: How would you change Fedora, if you became its supreme leader. It would make Fedora get somewhat closer to what rolling release distros do, but not make it a real rolling release distro: there still would be a “distro stabilizes things and makes sure the different parts are working well together before a new distro version is released” phase (which then would be the base for containers and Flatpacks).
