Priceless. News flash: this is _not_ about RH vs. the community. It's about realizing that software development is _hard_. It's about realizing that throwing options and toggles at the problem very very rarely gives you something good. What it does give you is a lot of confused users (look around; we're getting better but it's still really bad) including e.g. UI crap for selecting the driver stack of the week or whatever. This essay is more than five years old http://ometer.com/free-software-ui.html I suggest you read it. It's not completely related to this topic but if you think about it long enough there's some glaring analogies to be made.
