I am unable to understand that. Someone will have to translate it for me.

Again look at system-config-control and suggest specific improvements in 
bugzilla

If it is non intuitive, thats a bug. File it, report it, discuss it with 
the developers.

Thats a common myth. While Mandriva long ago was derived from Red Hat 
Linux. SUSE is not and they are pretty much independent organizations 
with their own policies at work now.

It is available for everyone by default  from Fedora Core 5.

Definitely but we cannot provide all the functionality we provide in 4 
or 5 CD's in a single CD.  We dont to provide more choice and expand the 
software packages in Fedora while letting end users pick and choose any 
of those CD's to install software they want.

Dont understand this again.

It is pretty simple to use.  Pretty much all of the links and content is 
available from the front page in about 2 or 3 clicks. If you suggest 
specific changes or better yet contribute, we can help improve it.

Doing is better than talking most of the time I guess.
