I think this would be a good topic of discussion. personally I would like to see more beta software included things like: Mozilla 1.6, Gimp version 1.3.23 evolution 1.5, even Garnome instead of gnome. After all that isn't what fedora is about being the tip of the sword. I'd like to hear the opinions of others on this subject.

Ouch ! I really hope Fedora will *not* become a Beta distribution. From what I have understood, it's a fast-evolving distribution, but not the point of being a crash-test.
Having the latest *stable* version of each package is enough for me. Having the latest *beta* is too much though.

Although, it would be nice to have Gimp 1.3.x in Fedora Core... (:
It is in Fedora Extras/Testing as "gimp2", however. http://www.fedora.us/pkglists/fedora-1-testing.html

To be honest, GIMP-1.3 is the only beta piece of software I run on my Fedora because the advantage of having a great GTK2 GIMP are more important to me than have a stable GTK1 GIMP. But that's the only exception. And even in that case, adding a line in yum.conf and running "yum install gimp2" is not very difficult. I just GIMP2 will be out very very soon :)

We aren't likely to _ship_ betas, however, we may be putting some of these betas in rawhide soon, if we expect the final versions to arrive in time for FC2.
