It's larger, it has more patches, more people have to look after it.
It's an RPM, same format as everything else, contains normal files,
encapsulates an external .tar.gz compilable project, and contains
deviations from upstream mandated by Redhat like other packages do.

Show me the "logical fallacy" drawing a line between that RPM and the
rest of 'em just because it has more people on it.  Sure I understand if
RHAT doesn't want to get their fingers into any more ongoing Chinese
Finger Traps of deviant maintainence.

RHAT deviations from upstream are basically a private RHAT political
issue.  They pay for it, why not.  Naturally this leads to winces when
the "C-word" is trotted out next to Fedora.

Anyway I use your work daily, thanks to everyone for all their work.
