I get the impression Fedora doesn't care about users and is only
interested in pushing the agenda
of the developers. It is too bad that Fedora doesn't have a reasonable
benevolent dictator like
Linus.
Linux kernel routinely has many regressions that affect end users.
Kernel developers try to solve known regressions before the release and
so does Fedora. The problem with have distribution level dictators is
the potential for abuse of power. I don't think you want that. Atleast
in this case, the bug was actually filed long after the release and
hence wasn't a known regression that was ignored. I don't think you can
blame Fedora here.
