The trouble is that Fedora does not want to lose this user or group of
users. If all of the users that use Fedora for reasonably important
tasks (not mission critical) stop using it, it will lose all of the
real use testing and feedback to upstream developers that Fedora is
good for and Linux needs.

My feeling is that is likely to be happening ...

I think Fedora should have a carefully balanced position between the
mission critical systems and completely play only systems.
