And rightly so.
And Fedora 14 is more than 10 versions ago.
That makes some 4 or 5 years. It's a lot.

But the point of Fedora is having the latest.
And ancient Fedora is pointless.
BTW, @jflory can you tell me what did I wrong with the wiki? I added the Chinese group but the link looks ugly.

A couple of days ago, when Firefox have made their strange advertisement extinsion, i've moved to Pale Moon. And I found it very comfortable.

He's pretty specific about the issues with Fedora, and what keeps it from being approved by the FSF.
I don't really care, tbh, but it's convenient to have it laid out. ?

And I think, this state of mind helps him to make open source programs so widespread

Kohane

But it bothers me that he wants everyone believing the same.
I don't think RMS helps to make open source any more widespread. It might well be the contrary actually.

You may admire him, but for a lot of people he looks more like a fanatic.
My point is... that I recognise his contribution. But for many people it was like Linux = fanatic thing
And that doesn't help to convince others to use it.

Pale Moon is the nice browser, no matter it based on Firefox 5.3
Holy damn its not. Its a security issue, a massive backporting issue thay frankly the developer stopped caring about and you actively using that slows the internet for everyone. It still cant do basic Es5 and Es6 stuff and dont even speak about the single largest js/ts development gamechanger of promises and observables.
Pale Moon is a security risk to you, to everyone around you and a developer issue that in the end the larger libraries have to care about if too many use it. And solely for the last it should burn to the ground because polyfills.
Maybe RMS have something against Fedora 15>
They dont, blag just has too few supporters and people that care to do the work of keeping it updated.
Plus fedora is so libre now that replacing the kernel with the readily available linux-libre makes your system fully libre if i remember right - ajd the advanced stallmanism that a package manager must make it as hard as possible to even add a propreitary or non-free source is just not sensible.

Polyfills?
goes like this:
checkForBrowserCompatibility('promises')
if available
do nothing
if not
load purely js drop-in that cant mimick the original but is good enough to work albeit slow

Kohane

I think you already explained this but I forgot.

You have to add larger and larger detection libraries for more and more things that a browser might or might not support. And if you look at modernizr, the largest one, you'd have to check a shitton of boxes to check for and their replacements.
And these detections can fail for other reasons, leading to sleepless developers.
