Case C:

- Fedora maintainer sees many many complaints about feature and takes
issue upstream or to application developer. (maintainer != developer in
some (most?) cases)
- Fedora maintainer or developer act as aggregate voice of userbase to
Gnome and pushes to get feature corrected upstream.
- As last resort Fedora maintainer creates patch or takes stance and
provides quantitave reasoning as to why they are sticking w/ feature
that lots dislike
End result? Community and target users do see that maintainers care and
listen and try for the end user's best interest.
Exactly THIS is the model I'm talking about and that I would want to
see from any distro that cares about their user base.
