    And this is why I didn’t fully believe it when people were saying Red Hats antics wouldn’t affect Fedora upstream.

    What alternatives are there to Fedora that offer a similar balance of stability and regular releases?

    Being opt-out instead of opt-in is icky. I don’t have much faith in RedHat related projects after the recent debacles (RHEL trying to kill off Alma and Rocky and Fedora’s project manager being fired with no replacement).

    As a Fedora user, I’m really tired of being disappointed. Gonna wait for my vacation to switch to Debian.

    All of this should be opt in. It says something about the culture once again. Microsoft also does “opt out” instead of in, which is morally wrong.
