We have here 2 bugs who is not been seen as a advantage for Fedora. Some users are angry, and Ubuntu users love these problems to show that our distro has bugs in the release too. The first one is 3 versions old (yes, Fedora 6 problem): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=221336 Second, this is not a bug, is a decision made and users who has Synaptic Touchpad are angry with that: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=439386 Questions, this problems should be fixed, but when?
