Agreed. The who we are is easy answered, we're RHs *playground*. That
is what everyone, not completely new to Linux, knows and one problem
why we're at 1.3% as mentioned above. Something that other distros
don't have to suffer from. And we're gladly acting like it, e.g.
x-server not compatible with HW vendor drivers at release time
(believe it or not, but users were angry about it). Bleeding edge
stuff like PA as first, ready or not for the masses.
One of the most frequented link in #fedora was/is
http://fedorasolved.org/Members/fenris02/pulseaudio-fixes-and-workarounds
Just two examples.
No wonder we're at about 1.3% eh ;)
I have no problems with being RH playground, nor with the 1.3%.
RH puts a lot of resources into Fedora and it entitled to use these
resources as they see fit.
Never the less, this "playground" is huge. You can have anything from a
extra-unstable Debian-Sid to a Ubuntu-LTS.
This big question is:
Who we are, and who gets to decide it.
