I am content to live with their decisions and make the best of whatever short term issues arise and do bugzilla reports when something fails to meet my expectations. As for my opinion of Linus Torvalds - I don't think I have much of an opinion since I have never met him, don't follow him on any social networking forum, don't read his blogs and am of the belief that he isn't using Fedora these days so I completely fail to see the purpose of your above commentary except to provoke more irrelevance. Yes, Fedora is a community based distribution - probably more so than Ubuntu (see SABDFL) and you can have actual input into the decision making process simply by getting involved. Of course that means doing packaging or getting on the board of directors or clearly making efforts beyond commenting from the peanut gallery. As for "love it or leave it" - I suppose that is everyone's prerogative. I am using Ubuntu on servers these days (as opposed to RHEL &/or CentOS &/or SL &/or Oracle 'unbreakable' so seemingly moving to another distro for my desktop is always an option... one that I considered before I did a clean install of F16 last week. I use a Ubuntu desktop (via FreeNX) at my work and I could easily use it instead of Fedora and it hardly matters - so yes, 'love it or leave it' is clearly everyone's prerogative.
