The issue is so large that it is absurd to allow a small group of
engineers from Fedora to engage in secret negotiations with the
Englobulators about the issue. The small team is not empowered
by me, nor by millions of others, to give away our present
practical power to install Fedora on a new x86 home computer by
putting in a CD, and setting some values in some configuration
files.
1. Invalid assumption about 'small group of engineers from Fedora'
as if they were working alone in a vacuum. But hey, whatever allows
you to belittle people...
2. You are simultaneously ascribing to Fedora the power
to move the industry despite anything you do, while claiming that they
aren't empowered by you to do so. Given that, why not concentrate your
considerable mailbox filling activities towards whomever has allowed Fedora
the power to move the industry, or whomever you would *like* to empower to
represent you?
This is a development list, after all, not a ranting list.
