To be fair, one of the points of participating in the fedora community
and discussion is to influence where rhel is going. We TELL people this
upfront.
So his case isn't without merit. I may not agree with Les often but it's
not like he's coming completely out of left field.
I wasn't trying to be unfair. One of the main reasons I use fedora is
to find out what is coming in RHEL. I just genuinely curious
considering that alot of his statements on this topic seem to imply that
people will leave due to this change (and possibly others).

I literally have a shed that needs painted next spring, perhaps I should
