Hi,
Someone should write a response. Feel free to brainstorm here.

I mean, aren't they? I'm not sure what kind of response is required.

" Fedora 9 was released last week. As many users have discovered since then,
the latest version of Red Hat's community distribution is a rather
adventurous mix of bleeding-edge packages and experimental features. The
development version of X.Org 1.5 does not work well with any of the
proprietary NVIDIA graphics drivers, which were promptly left out from the
stable Livna.org repositories. Similarly, Firefox 3.0b5 is a beta build,
lacking support for many popular add-ons. And there is KDE 4.0.3, another
experimental, buggy and feature-lacking desktop package that is forced onto
Fedora's KDE users without an alternative. No wonder that many users are
unhappy about some of the choices Fedora developers made prior to the
release. But as is always the case with this popular distribution, things are
bound to improve in the coming weeks. The first major batch of package
updates has already entered the testing directory, so it shouldn't be long
before they are pushed on to the end users"
