The precipitating event is actually caused by Windows, which will not accommodate all 24Gb of RAM I have on one machine without my paying blackmail (which I would have to pay over and over again), and Fedora doesn't even aim at being a replacement for Windows.
I'm reminded of ESR's vocal and high profile switch away from Fedora after he manually broke something that RPM told him not to.
I don't know if the Fedora maintainers aim at a Windows replacement or not. I know that as a long time Red Hat user, I feel like I've seen the quality of the distribution, transparency and community involvement, and commitment to Free Software all increase over time, and I'm extremely happy with those things. When my non-technical friends want a PC, I give them Fedora. My mom runs Fedora. The people I help have a secure, reliable system that offers them the software that they want.
I am confused to no end that a user is giving up Fedora because non-Enterprise releases of Windows don't support > 16 GB of RAM.
