Yeah, I think you're right about the history. However, I also _really_
hope that we can learn from what went right and what went wrong in each
of those cases, and reduce potentional user pain. Growing the actual
user base is a big priority right now, and I want to make sure that we
find the right balance as we also chase the "first" foundation. We
haven't always gotten it right in the past, and if we do decide that we
want to set it a little more conservatively this time, please don't
take that as singling out DNF.
