Let's try your thought experiment on something more
fundamental to Fedora:
"Let's be honest about how few people at home and
small/medium organizations are using Linux and
reconsider our fascination and dedication to it."
So, using your own rationale, we should "not make
everything depend on Linux" and support for Linux
should be removed from Fedora.
Just 'cause Bill Anderson has some weird
anti-fascination with Kerberos doesn't mean it's not
an important or viable technology, or that it should
be removed from Fedora. Kerberos is here to stay,
whether you like it or not. I, for one, /need/
Kerberos support in Fedora (no, wait, I need /better/
Kerberos support in Fedora).
With Microsoft now promoting Kerberos, Kerberos
support in Fedora is that much more important.
Okay, I'm done now,
Good then quit bogarting the crack pipe.
And actually, it has been more than suggested on this list (or one of
these fedora lists) that Fedora Core could, and is eventually expected
to, run on something other than the Linux Kernel, such as BSD. And,
IIRC, that came from a RH email address. Still ready to stand by that
analogy. :^D
