Nope, that's not what we're saying. We're saying our unenecumbered open source distribution can not provide MP3 support because of reasons beyond our control. We wish that we could, but the political/economic realities prohibit it without giving up on our primary objectives which are very clearly laid out. Therefore, we are continuing to work on providing better and better open source solutions so that we can encompass the pragmatic needs of more and more average users with open source solutions. We're not working on proprietary solutions, and we are not interested in them. But if you are, there are other distributions more suited to your priorities than Fedora. Every distribution need not be targeting the same audience. Sean -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
