Sorry POC for inserting here.....
I just want to congratulate all the participants in this thread and resulting tangents. You've manged to hit at least 3 most often recurring themes.
I realize nothing can be done about the meta "Guidelines" thrash, but you know, some would say that if something keeps cropping up, over and over, you might want to ... I don't know ... fix it! Or at least acknowledge that these are problems, and come up with a plan to deal with them, whether it be political (licensing, patent-coverage, etc), or technical ( issues with gnome3, issues with fonts, issues with multimedia, etc).

Ah, yes.....
D. Everybody knows X, Y, or Z is *Completely* and *Utterly" broken and we keep bringing it up on this mailing list...but *nobody* does *anything*. Or: Why I can't be bothered with filing bugzillas or joining/forming a team to "improve" the situation.

The reason people bring up Ubuntu, and Linux Mint is that these distributions show that Linux Desktop usability is possible. They've come up with ways to fix the problems. All Fedora seems to come up with is excuses.
FYI, there is an "E" in there....but it may result in pulling me into the endless food fight that I feel is counterproductive at this point.

A. GNOME 3 is the most hated desktop since the introduction of KDE 4.
B. Licensing in Fedora. Or: Why can't Fedora be more like Ubuntu?
C. Mailing list guidelines. Or: Guidelines, they're for other people.
