(I'm honestly asking here.) It is also that some of the sysadmins (including me) are scared with the direction that the distribution seems to be taking. Some new tools seem to focus mainly on user functionality (which isn't a bad thing) and ignore the sysadmin side (which is bad). To us adding adding new tools that are less easy to script or manage with something like cfengine/puppet/etc is a huge step backwards, we don't care if users can now have a desktop applet so they can supend/hibernate the machine, we don't want them to be able to do that anyway.
