I would normally be ashamed and frustrated to the idea alone of replying to a message like this, but I will make myself an exception, because I feel it's important for me to say it. I think this message of yours was rude, inflammatory and condescending. It's technically misinformed. It misses the entire point of this discussion. It moves the argument to a space where it can only die, or burst in an unproductive flame that will have no positive outcome other than making people more frustrated and less willing to engage in a serious conversation on this list in the future. Communication and collaboration can be hard, and I think we can only succeed if we carefully weight what we're saying and respectfully consider the nature of people involved in a given discussion. I personally believe project leaders especially should realize this, and I am often saddened to observe that this is not the case in Fedora.
