Point taken. However, the Fedora goals are clearly laid out.

Sure, the point was really to drive home that it's easy to call someone a zealot, as Eric had just done to Rahul in the post I was responding to and in a way that was no more or less hostile. Eric's questions have already been answered many times over and he's not adding anything new. It's just a distraction and inappropriate for this list considering the core Fedora objectives. Take a look at the Fedora objectives, it's not about designing _any_ kind of software with the end user in mind, it's about designing open source and unencumbered software with the end user in mind.
