That's one of the "identity signs" of Fedora. We fix stuff we don't wait for other distributions to do it for us. And we fix stuff at every level — development, packaging, artwork, etc Another "identity sign" is Freedom. We get enough slack for making hard decisions (when other distributions formally tag stuff 'non-free" then distribute it anyway and make no active effort to replace it) to know they are hard decisions and not everyone makes them. > That's precisely your fault, I think > developers are completely unable to abstract themselves by a moment and > to think like common end users would be (empathy). Users think short term. Red Hat and Fedora think long term. We don't take decisions that may haunt us later lightly. That's a third "identity sign". Countless users decided at a time "RHL/Fedora is not user-friendly, I'll use foo distro" instead and then foo distro disappeared because it achieved short-term user-friendliness at the cost of long-term user-friendliness (being still there to help users) We certainly have poor communication but that's not because Fedora is lacking identity. Fedora has strong identity. It wants to build a free community platform period. That's something inherited from Red Hat. Red Hat didn't achieve its market-leader situation by being confused on the objectives. -- Nicolas Mailhot
