Please tell me this is some kind of bad joke! Is Fedora becoming like MS Windows? Just when Microsoft announced that you'll be able to install Windows 7 without a GUI, you're announcing something opposite for Fedora? Are you going to drive away people who like the textmode better? Seriously, that would be one of the changes that would drive *me* away from Fedora. Please don't do that. I like Fedora too much and I've invested too much time in improving it for me.
