Maybe :), but he has a couple things I agree with, RH/Fedora is losing

They can, there is no reason at all, lets say a media player software
wont, well unless you bastardise it like Fedora does, once you start
ommitting parts of the authors original known working code, you no longer
have a working guarantee.
In this sense yes, Fedora is not, can not, and does not want to be the first
distribution for Windows refugees.
Correct, unlike RedHat X.XX days. This is why Fedora has lost a very
significant hold of desktop.
Secondly, the version upgrade is messy
This I cannot comment on. I've always installed each version from
scratch, because of all the horror upgrade stories I've been reading
(for any distro...) since the 90's...
I've had no problems in the 90's with slackware, since 2.0 at least.
though yes it was alot harder back in those days.
