They use Debian packages, don`t they?  That is something I wanted to get
away from.

And otherwise you`d be using Mint?


I`m somewhat surprised that the feeling of apparent desinterest of the
makers of Fedora in what its users think seems kinda widespread under
its users.  Perhaps it`s a wrong impression; if not, it may be something
for Fedora.next to address.

Many users probably don`t care as long as Fedora works for them --- and
when it doesn`t anymore, they just pick something else?

That surely wouldn`t bring Fedora anywhere near a position in which it
should contemplate leading the advancement of FOSS ... unless what users
of FOSS think is indeed irrelevant.
