OK. So the next question is, do *Red Hat's* goals no longer
include
world desktop domination? Because if that's true, I need to find a distro
that hasn't ... er ... lost its idealism.
If they'd "lost [their] idealism", they might include some of the things
you are complaining about. You want it both ways, and you can't have
that.
If you think MP3, Flash, and Java are the missing "killer apps" to make
Fedora Core the desktop for world domination, why don't you take Fedora
Core, and those bits (getting licenses as needed), and release your own
"Raymond Linux" distribution? Since everything in Fedora Core is fully
redistributable, you are free to do that.
