I enjoy the myth of calling Fedora a community driven project. It is a

missed it. It was Fedora that has failed me by giving me the FC6
distribution that exhibits problems not found on any other previous
Fedora or Red Hat distribution. It is annoying to take 5 months to
figure out how to deal with the problems of a distribution that is
created anew every 6 or 7 months. But I admit it is educational.

this is absolute hogwash
If you don't monitor bugzilla and you don't monitor the developers list,
where do you expect to see the impact of user contributions?
The user contributions on this list is users helping users.
The user contributions to the software developers is accomplished via
bugzilla. The developers have mostly left the user lists so as not to
get discouraged by ranting, ungrateful, whining posters.

I have to agree with you Craig. I have seen some of my suggestions on
Bugzilla implemented, maybe not as I exactly recommended but close to
what I envisioned. Maybe not in the version of Fedora I was/am using
but in future versions.
Of all the suggestions that are put in to bugzilla, how many are
supported by members of this list? In fact, how many users on this list
has even looked at bugzilla?
I admit that I only look when I have an issue but I have also reported
those issues. In some cases, I have seen issues similar to what I was
going to post and added my suggestion to their report.
This list isn't for suggestions but user support. At least in my thoughts.
