First, I never said we should 'vote'. I talked about community
involvement.
Second, if you are looking at the sure path to drive people away,
sending them to "go join Debian" will be it.
(Though, in your defense, I did the same more than once, so I can't
really blame you without sharing the blame)

I fully agree.
With every single word.

I do not agree that that working with zero community input is the way to
achieve a working compromise. (And input does not equal vote)

I can't really comment on it. (Don't have OSX, never tried it)
Though, I would imagine that Fedora is compared to Ubuntu and Windows 7;
I doubt that OSX is even on the list.
