自Fedora从版本4开始鄙视我家里的PC以来，和Fedora的接触就越来越少了，笔记本上换Ubuntu，工作机有SuSE（短暂地用过Fedora 6），不知Fedora 7能不能带来点变化。

在Fedora开发邮件列表上，RedHat的 Bill Nottingham总列了规划中的Fedora 7。

最大变化是，不再有Fedora Core和Fedora Extras之分。将会只有”Fedora”发布，只会有一个repository――这下子大家不用讨厌地改yum配置加这个那个类型的repo了。目前的工作是，Core Steering Committee要和Fedora Board和FESCO协作，确定如何完成对将来统一的repository进行监控和管理。

下一个版本，Fedora 7，代号待定，不过八成不会是 Bride of Zod ^_^ 预计最终发布在今年4月26号。28个新feature规划如下：

- Modify the build system to support this new paradigm
- Merge Core and Extras in source control
- Use the new pungi tool to spin all releases
- A Fedora Desktop spin：希望有点新面貌
- A Fedora Server spin
- A Fedora KDE spin：希望别太丑，别老拿bluecurve做挡箭牌
- Make LiveCDs as a part of the distribution release process：大势所趋
- Ability to customize non-packaging distrubution parameters
- Switch to libata drivers for PATA support
- Speedup of bootup and shutdown：特别是启动，早该改改了
- Make wireless rock-solid：就不能像Ubuntu那样，上来就支持Centrino吗？！
- Add wireless firmware for all the chipsets we can
- CodecBuddy
- Fixing the proliferation of dictionary packages
- Support encrypted filesystems
- Fast user switching in the desktop
- Fix the firewire stack
- Switch to a tickless kernel by default
- Fix unnecessary wakeups across the distribution
- Add KVM virtualization support to our tools：元旦前听到有公司同事在谈这个了
- Investigate (but probably don’t switch to) new init technologies
- Add the nouveau drivers for nVidia cards
- Speed up Yum and RPM
- Add support for RandR 1.2
- Switch to syslog-ng
- Make the update system useable by all
