Being able to have your needs met by open source software alone isn't dogmatism, it's a reality for many people. They have every right to a distribution specifically designed for their needs; just as Fedora is. People who want to add proprietary repositories on top of Fedora already do so without much trouble. Your desire to step over that last inch isn't based on pragmatism but rather your dogmatism about the proper way to world domination. Your dream that Linux is just a few binary modules away from world domination is such a pipe dream it just isn't worth tarnishing the premier open source distribution over. If you can get your brain that far a long, it would be nice. Sean -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
