Nelson, my point was *not* about our market penetration or our expansion

from shipping it in fedora - this is a benefit for the vendor besides all the
other i already explained in my previous email.

I made valid points why it is a success story also in my previous email.

This wording is a bit unlucky for all the people who put a lot effort into this

it is legal in Fedora - it works without the need of additional components - it is Open Source - you can do a fork!

Please Marketing People do not make the same mistake as with Fedora Electronic Lab features - last release!
