I find often quite annoying that it does not work the same in Fedora/Red

Debian and Slackware have got this right. This "feature" has annoyed the
shit out of me ever since I started using Red Hat, with version 5.2.
Of course being so long ago, I just learned to accept it and forgot

Anyway it should be taken in consideration whether current Fedora

would be annoyed by the change. IMO it should not cause any problem of
sort, as it does not introduce obstacles and does not influence (I
think) how stuff works now. It just makes things smoother, but that's
taste.
