Isn't Ximian Evolution a *very* commonly used app?

Are you saying that it is unreasonable to expect RH to test to see if
their latest OS release actually *worked* with commonly used apps?

Are you saying that it's unreasonable to expect RH to provide a minimal
level of backward compatibility (say perhaps even only *one* level of
prior release)?

No one asked for them to rewrite another company's app but the least
they could do is to flag incompatibilities *created* by *their* changes
so the customer may make an *informed* decision to upgrade or not.

Since my office threw Linux out for these reasons I don't face these
kinds of embarrassing situations any more.  It seems a little more
sympathy for those who do is in order.

My RH9 arrives soon.  Wonder what else they broke that they *forgot* to
mention?

Sigh ... doc
