Fedora disimprovements: am I alone?

Thats one of the diseases Fedora seems to be suffering from. The
'Oh but it doesn't matter about the lower levels' problem. F15 and F16
screw up upgrades horribly and leave services disabled they shouldn't.
Thats a fail. It also totally contradicts the defence of "oh but you
never have to deal with it"

Similarly with grub2. The complete failure of the upgrade tools and
installer to get the job done right combined with the half baked and
over convoluted script mess makes it a nightmare for users to fix.

Low levels do matter. Being able to fix stuff does matter. Things *do* go
wrong.
