You are the guy who is having a bit of a moan on the Fedora list about KDE. How many patches have you contributed to Fedora or to CentOS? This is open source after all, you have access to the source.
Not every user is a contributor for development, documentation, translation, bug-reporting, promotion or donations. And nobody is demanding contributions, if you're an end-user that is fine too.
I think it is important to understand that when you are a user you _can_ contribute, but if you choose not to participate in the community people might not be interested. Outsiders seldom cause change.
Also, if you're not "able" to contribute or participate (for whatever reason) I don't see good reasons to use a bleeding-edge distribution that thrives on development and feedback.
