I wouldn't say Fedora "follows blindly" but rather chooses an upstream from some alternatives (their ability to handle feedback from us beeing one ot the criterias).
Gnome has been the default, unless I'm misremebering since *before* Fedora (RH8/9 or earlier). That's not incompatible with 'chooses an upstream from some alternatives' but does suggest some inertia. Maybe if Gnome really thinks distros might drop them they'd think harder about introducing unwanted workflow changes every other release.
exactly that is my point
as long it is tolerated from any distro for any upstream project do beark any compatibility why should developers care about anything and spent time to think if the way they are going is really the best for the users
currently the only reaction of many open source projects is "it is free so who do you think you are" - by some changes i say "thank god it is free and not paied for it"
