Yes that was pretty obvious and lie to everbody in the process " just 
say that you are using Fedora 14." which helps no one..

You should let your user base report directly in you own bugzilla or 
better yet directly upstream.

The last thing we need is a flood in our forums channels mailing list 
and what not with stuff like whether NVIDIA driver works or not and what 
else proprietary stuff you have chosen to ship.
