Pooh, this is an opinion one, I can read each of those without issue.
We'll have to see what options we have.

I don't think it's an opinion one as much as what a particular eye can
see. In my case, I can read 'most' of them with little to no effort,
but there were at least 3 that I had to squint or move closer to read.
I've had perfect vision all of my life. What I don't understand is
the value of having colored boxes that make it extremely difficult for
the eyes to focus on the letters.
BTW, I understand what a captcha is and its intended purpose, but I
would argue that this is only one step of many for preventing computer
bots to invade the fedora project. Mitigation is the goal here, I
don't think it's possible to eliminate all bots, but it is possible to
eliminate a few potential contributors because of something simple
like this getting in the way.
Cheers,
