Jef, Not you too. My arguments are NOT "essentially" tradition. One of my 9 distinct arguments was Fedora becomes inconsistent with itself. Another was that Fedora becomes incompatible with other Linux distributions. Do we really want to go down the path where we have to have "Fedora experts", "SUSE experts, "Ubuntu experts", etc and there is no such thing as a "Linux expert"? That were the path of frivolous incompatibilities leads. The shepherds of the the various Linux distros should keep this in mind. Their own distribution doesn't exist in a vacuum. If if they don't use/work on other distributions, their users do.
