Now, it so happens that I fully understand that you guys don't have all
the time/resources/people/money you might like and that you're doing the
best you can. I also respect what "the best you can" has produced so
far.*
Folks,
Let me go on the record of saying that with the old Redhat Network support there was actually a money stream to support the community channel. With the transition to RHEL and the higher annual expense (which provide support services I do not need), I have no choice but to use Fedora or another distribution and not contribute financially to Fedora's/Redhat's success. I would be happy to contribute $50 bucks a year to Fedora to help defray the costs of bandwidth, update server maintenance and bugzilla scanning. Basically, I am getting those things out of Fedora that I used to get out of my RHN subscription but am not paying anything. Basically, Redhat has turned me from a paying ally to a marginally competent tester for Fedora and, due to bandwidth/machinery, a drain on company coffers . I think we both lose. The biggest thing I worry about this state of affairs is that it means that Fedora will eventually fail due to the lack of support funds.
Andrew
