Although there are various community-driven developments in the Fedora ecosystem, this document describes the roughly 12-month technical focus of the core repository platform.

Fedora 6.0.0

The next major version of Fedora will focus on the following requirements:

1. Replace the ModeShape persistence layer with a different technology that implements the Oxford Common File Layout
2. Add a synchronous query service
3. Improve the fixity service
4. Address known performance and scale issues
5. Support migrations from earlier versions of Fedora (3.x, 4.x, and 5.x)
