</div></div>Why is all this work being put into Fedora 20? The maintenance window<br>
is limited and as of the next release they won't even support non-KMS<br>
drivers by default. Wouldn't make sense to look into a distribution<br>
that provides and LTS release? Resources already seem to be limited<br>
so having to chase after Fedora every 6 months to a year seems like a<br>
waste of resources. The GTK3 and GNOME teams obviously have their<br>
eyes on a different class of hardware than what is being used by<br>
deployments.<br>
