For proof, just look at this article, Michael claims that 2017 was a huge success for Fedora with "many innovations" yet he doesn't name a single one. An "innovation" is a feature, a change in how things are done, that one product/service has/offers that no one else offers. What are the "innovations" Fedora offers? It finally supports some codecs that other distributions, like Ubuntu, have supported out of the box for years now.
One of innovations of Fedora was the out-of-box support of hybrid laptops via Gnome shell inspiring other distributions to adopt that approach, Gnome Software which now allows a much easier upgrade path got adopted by Canonical as Software update, first major adoption of Wayland protocol on a traditional desktop environment which keeps on improving. Those are few examples benefiting all free and open source ecosystem.

Sorry, corporate entities need to learn how to pay for beta testing. There's no free corporate lunch.
This is a BS argument.

So when will you hold Canonical and Ubuntu to that standard? It's not a community distro either. It's assembled by Canonical, and they get "free beta testing" out of the "community" with the non-LTS versions for the LTS version.
This is a BS argument.

Originally posted by Spooktra View PostIt is not a BS argument, you have simply extended it to other relationships, which in my opinion, as a devout Ubuntu user, is quite valid. Ubuntu non-LTS are for all intents and purposes perpetual beta releases that are meant to act as a testing ground for the LTS releases; same holds true for Open Suse Leap and Tumbleweed verses their Enterprise releases.
That said, the BS argument is "making a free beta for community = bad", in case you missed it.
