There's little point in having a user base of testers (which Fedora
users are, by the very nature of what Fedora is - rapidly changing,
never stable, trying things out before it ends up in Red Hat Linux, no
matter how many people say "it's not a 'testbed' distro"), if you don't
pay any attention to what they say about it.

That means not only bug reports about errors, but also usability issues
(bad interfaces, burdensome design, lack of features, et cetera).
