Not to mention, that if this is indeed an "inside joke" it just goes
further to advance the opinion of some that Fedora is "run" by a small
group of "insiders" and everyone else (the user base) are
"outsiders".
These people are "insiders" only to the extend that they have been
involved for a long time and care enough to know to these sort of
trivia. Other than that the information is transparently available in
many public places. This is a open source project after all.

In addition to that, I don't prefer to talk about a "user base" since
there is no bright line diving contributors and users. Anyone who
bothers enough to say report a bug should be considered a contributor.
