[ale] Fedora 25 or 26beta?

[Derek Atkins]

I don't upgrade the base OS often because I have a bunch of extra stuff that would necessarily need to either update or get recompiled.  I don't like spending precious time getting things working again.  I want to get them working once and enjoy using them.

My SOP is to update the system every 30-90 days unless I hit a bug in something I use...  That will get me to update some stuff sooner.  I won't upgrade the OS until at least 12 months if not 18, because that breaks lots of things and takes much more time than an in-OS update.

Thanks
