But remember this: one of the the biggest reasons for opening ALL of the production tools for F7 was to make it *as easy as possible* for people who disagree with the "official" policy to build their own versions of Fedora.

What does this mean? It means that you, Rodrigo, can build your own version of Fedora that *does not* include the pieces to which you object. And if you submit this version for board approval as an "official" Fedora release, I'm pretty sure you'd get it.

But you have to do the work of maintaining it... and you have to deal with the complaints when other people don't agree with *your* policies. :)

In fact... and sorry to expand on my own point...

This is, in fact, an *extremely important freedom* that we're talking about here. I've been in the Fedora leadership for a long time now, and we've made decisions that even *I* disagree with.

For what it's worth, I will *encourage* people to make their own versions of Fedora that adhere to *their* standards of what Fedora should and shouldn't be. And we let the Marketplace of Users decide.
