Nice move, Max.
We can never stop online hoaxes or misinformed articles, so I also
believe we should always opt for the clarifying method.
People speculate a bunch, we explain whassup, then judgement is up to
the readers ;)
Now my question: do you intend to go against the assumption that Red Hat
"neglected its Fedora desktop users"?
Better to wait for the questions to be asked before speculating. I doubt
any question would be phrased that way. Fedora is not even in the
picture when Red Hat supposedly abandoned the desktop since people
equated the retail model with desktop usage and Fedora is not a retail
commercially supported product.
Having said that, the number of new efforts that Red Hat or people in
Red Hat has created (and continue to work on) around the desktop
(freedesktop.org, hal, dbus, Network Manager, GTK, Large amount of GNOME
etc is good enough a proof that Red Hat is willing to invest very
heavily in the desktop.
There is a question of better integration in existing products that goes
beyond Red Hat's upstream project involvement though. Random examples of
this are Network Manager being shipped enabled by default in various
other distributions while Fedora does not. Dogtail just got into Fedora
development tree yesterday. Sabayon is in Fedora Extras still.
Red Hat's launch of purely desktop (and laptop) focused commercial
products if any is ever done depend on solid business value. We will get
to that point soon I hope.
