However we choose to look at the numbers, reviews  and/or feedback----  our peak was F14, IMHO. Many in FOSS have similar feelings/views. 

I for one think we need to acknowledge this reality as a project, and aim for a whole bunch of new awesomeness. We can do it, we are Fedora. Anaconda will have the desired maturity, as well as other great features. Fedora has had high and lowpoints- we learn tho, and we make it better. 

Fedorans done give up, they just make it better :)

While I am just using my intuition about human behavior now I suspect after an unusual period of two months with weekly reminders in the press that things were so wrong with F18 that it couldn't be released there are probably a significant number of users who are just being more cautious than normal at this point waiting to see how much luck other early adopters have with the release before diving in. At least that is my optimistic the sky isn't falling take on it at this point.

These stories might have to do something with it

Also Anaconda in Fedora 18 seems to have some bad press as well and this one in particular seems to be referenced quite a bit
