False dichotomy.

As a full time user of Fedora for several years, I value new
technologies directly in Fedora and I am proud these same technologies
have a wide impact in other distributions and in the enterprise in
future releases.  I see it as a important part of Fedora's culture.

Sure.  Point me to any large distribution who doesn't have such users or
contributors.
