[MythDora] MythDora Update Idea

[gchris]

I recently had occasion to build a new Fedora 8 system and noted that 
the huge pile of Fedora updates (324) cured many of the non-MythDora 
bugs found in the MD5 beta test, and which still trip up an occasional 
new MythDora user.

I completely agree with Dennis' practice of discouraging users from 
randomly applying updates to his distro and the shear volume of Fedora 
updates shows the wisdom of that approach.  Nonetheless, there are known 
bugs that have Fedora fixes and there is an eager posse of beta-testers 
just waiting to sink their teeth into the next release.

My thought was that it might be worthwhile to identify a top 5 or top 10 
list of non-MythDora bugs and encourage beta testers to watch for and 
test Fedora updates related to those bugs.  When a particular bug is 
verified fixed without negative effects by two or more beta testers, 
that fix gets designated as a MythDora Approved fix and the first or 
first and second reporters get credited on the MythDora website for 
finding that solution.  Tracking of the attempts and successes or 
failures might be handled by Jarod's bug tracking facility.

The goal would be to promote manageable, disciplined improvements of 
each MythDora release from womb to tomb without the potential 
destabilization of wholesale upgrades.

Thoughts? Concerns? Opinions?
