I've thus far been a lurker on this thread but now I'm curious... One thing to think about is defining what exactly is "high end hardware"? Unless something has changed I remember reading a thread where Fedora 15 is the first release where 512MB of memory is not enough for an install, which means unless I upgrade, my netbook is stuck at F14. I'm not saying that most systems even 4+ years ago will not have 1GB or more, but I think it's better to talk specifics rather than generalities.
