These machines are still great for running everything from e-mail and music servers, to casual browsing and e-mail.

One of the reasons this issue has come up is because it is quite difficult to quantify how popular a feature is within Fedora. The more people who are (positively) vocal about the parts of Fedora that are important to them, the more desire there is within the community to support that feature.
