Just like the American Political System, we have no voice and no vote :(, the "Ruling Elite" are the ones that chose names and vote, us the users are the ones that have to end up with whatever others choose if we are not part of the "Ruling Elite" :( Is there an electoral college in the Fedora voting? Because if there is, the majority does not get to choose the name :( Best Regards, Antonio -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
