i am aware

the major point of my critism is systemd-upstream's "release-and-forget"
with no point releases at all and the state of systemd in F20 makes that
not looking like a working strategy overstraining downstream maintainers

that may work for a browser but not for a core-component of a distruibution
or only in case of luck and not hitted by bugs as we have them now

extremely conservative would have been keep Fedora 20 on systemd-204
which has none of that problems - systemd-208 obviously has *not*
release quality

extremely conservative with a stable release: fine
extremely conservative with a broken release: not fine, it needs fixes, timly

my tone is ok, if someone can't stand critism that's a different problem layer

i am contributing *my own free time* with testing and bugreports, the last
systemd build for F20 was tested, rolled back and commented with feedback
minutes after the build completed, so i deserve feedback in a timely manner
and not get ignored over months (and i am not the only one)

since you are the one fighting against RH on fedora-devel and claiming you are
Fedora QA more than once - where where you in case of the bugs above? how did
they pass QA if any random tester is facing two of them within minutes?

> With regards to those RHEL bugs I suggest you follow Red Hat's official procedure dealing with those

RHEL bugs? maybe read them before make comments and get rid of your hate
against Redhat could help, the Fedora bugzilla is below redhat.com and they
are all *Fedora* bugs and *one* of them made it to RHEL-Beta *too*
