<shrug> I'm not (at least in this thread) trying to explain what
Fedora *can* do; I'm trying to state what others *are* doing and where
Fedora is falling short. Fedora may feel they can't do it for whatever
reason, but others are doing it (or at least a reasonable fascimile of
it), and seeing benefits from it, and Fedora should be aware of that.
