More to the point, the only large active group trying to move things
forward for Fedora are those that care about the Desktop experience,
ergo those are the directions Fedora is going in. It's a serve yourself
kind of project, it is what you make of it.
I think you're begging the question.
Ralf is saying that the changes the desktop teams wants to make are not
FORWARD. They are in a direction that is sub-optimal for various things.
And to be fair a lot of other people who do things with fedora don't
require large changes for that to happen. The folks providing functional
daemons, for example, they don't need much more than a quasi-stable base
to run on.
