Agreed as well. But I think we in Fedora-Land should put "advancements to the Fedora distro" *a bit higher* on our todo-List as well, as especially those things are what make a distro cool and "nice to use" (and thus influence the decision what distro to use). Faster system-start comes to my mind (which in parts is globally useful as well), support for encrypted filesystems in the installer, real "minimal"-installs, avoiding unnecessary dependencies/bloat , avoiding broken deps in the repo, Partition resizing in the installer and lots of (often small) similar things.
