Large projects like Gnome and Fedora refer to themselves as one large organization one minute and then as individuals the next. It reminds me of how everyone says "Linux" is less resource hungry then Windows but "Linux" is just a kernel, as those same people will often say in "Linux"'s defense.Please don't change the subject. The fact of the matter is that nearly nobody is actually paid to work on, or otherwise improve, Fedora. As opposed to, say, Windows (either the OS itself or the greater "ecosystem" around it)
I didn't say otherwise. No one is entitled to free work. If you
stand on a mountain and shout how much better you are, as the
Linux community often does, then well... don't cry when people
show up with pitch forks when they realize they've been "sold"
snake oil.
What i'm saying is: Distros like Fedora actively hurt the very
people who are directly or indirectly helping them. There are
single-person run projects, like mine, out there that can't
possibly do all the work needed to have a dozen packages for each
distro. It's just not possible or, in the case of Java based
projects, not even needed to begin with.
That is to say nothing of those distros doing things like Fedora
now does like running X as user which break otherwise perfectly
running applications. I can't check in every 6 months to make sure
y'all didn't break something. I don't have the time nor the
download cap(1TB a month, GO USA!) for it.
If you want to get volunteers to do something, deriding and insulting them is highly counterproductive. Heck, that applies even if they aren't volunteers. If you act like an ass, don't complain if you're treated like one in response.
You're response, honestly, is just an echo of the general
mentality many distro developers have that I've seen. It's not
even unique or different.
I'll follow up on the mostly-unrelated remainder of your reply after I'm back from the doctor.
It was all in response to the insulation that packaging software
for each distro is the answer to everything you seemed to have
been putting forth.
