Jup, and this is far from professional CMS from what I have heard. Are
you sure this is pro-grade CMS? I'm not a pro but please ask somebody
who is if this CMS in Fedora would work with professional print shops,
magazines, ad-companies, etc.


Argyll CMS is definitely of professional quality.  They have done a lot of hard work fully supporting the icc specifications as well as reverse engineering professional display calibration hardware.

The big problem is integrating the workflow and hardware aspects of the CMS.  That is what the Fedora goal is about.  Since all the designers at RedHat will be using it you know it will be pro-grade.
