Sure, isn't it also unrealistic to expect to receive a massive library
of software and contribute nothing in return? Do you have an inherent
right to the product of the work that other people do to fulfill their
own needs? Free Software requires participation.
You've complained that Fedora has become about dropping things, but
those "things" don't exist unless someone makes them.
Please note, I'm not sure if you're aware, but it's certainly not the
case that Kevin "contribute[s] nothing in return". He's worked on
Fedora packaging, especially around KDE, for many years.
