@ainmosni@social.ainmosni.eu Fedora in a lot of ways is (or at least, was) meant to be a testbed for new technical decisions in RHEL, even though that was never very clearly communicated to end users, so it makes sense that it would be the first major one to adopt it. But AFAIK there were already a lot of backroom conversations between distro maintainers at that time - with 'coordinated rollout' I don't so much mean that they all rolled it out at the same time, as that they were in constant contact with each other and learning from each other's experiences to figure out when to make the call themselves. It's less about the schedule and more about the social connections :)

    @joepie91@fedi.slightly.tech fair fair, I wasn't aware of the social coordination of it, and yeah I am aware of Fedora's "testbed" status, it's one of the reasons I switch from Arch to Fedora, as it was new enough for me, while not having the rolling release lifestyle. In the end, I do like where wayland is ending up, but yeah, PR wise it did damage a lot.
