So do that, then.

But there is not agreement among all Fedora developers about which way
to go, and nor is there likely to be.  Fedora is all about freedom and
choice.

For small values of "sensible".  I can just imagine the arguments
about how to describe GNOME 3.  I'm not sure that "a steaming pile of
foetid dingo's kidneys", as some people would describe GNOME 3, would
do it.  :-)

See above: there is not agreement among all Fedora developers.

Look, if you found a bug in GCC and complained here we'd tell you
to forward the report to GCC developers.  How is GNOME any different?
