and that is why the Linux kernel is that successful

there is one person which makes decisions and proves that this is
possible, widely accepted and works over many years, hence this
works longer than Fedora even exists
_____________________

the real problem Fedora has that there is nobody with the power to make
finally decisions and in doubt everybody can do anything and until the
damage is not done things which are not broken are happily fixed

too often changes are done on parts where a lot of people are happy
that they slowly start to stabilize themself, things are changed for
the sake of the change because often people appear to be bored that
things are just working instead look glad on that

honestly, the "Fedora Core" days was better looking forward to 10, 20 years
because there was a clean distinction between "Redhat" and "fedora-extras"
where it was pretty easy to keep one eye more what is coming from the extras
repo - *no i do not say* that the package from "extras" was bad, i only say
that they from "core" where always safer because their intention was base of
the next enterprise-distribution
