None of us "mere users" have a vote. Trend which I see in my Linux "neighbourhood" is quite transparent - people switch from Fedora elsewhere: some of them to Centos, others to different distro, some leave Linux entirely. Perhaps nobody now is using Gnome3. Reasons were always same - unacceptable quantum of bugs, which solving take unacceptable quantum of time (when problem was possible tackle/bypass by himself). Or there were some SW faults which was needed solve with developers, and in many cases it wasn't solved even until distro EOL. I myself was not afraid install Fedora at production workstations and servers, even in their beta phase - but it ended with F12-F13 (F14 was still good distro, but in beta phase there was unworkable systemd; in final release was upstart). And now I install Fedora not before several weeks after final releas - and for testing purposes only.
Well, is curious... I see the opposite situation. People from other distros (especially Ubuntu) dropping into Fedora. May be a geographic difference?
