If you learn to respect the goals of the Fedora project without calling
its maintainers zealots, you'll find Fedora is quite open to pragmatic
decisions.  This is evidenced by how many people are using it quite
productively.

Please don't think you need to swoop in to save Fedora from itself, it's
already happily accomplishing its objectives.  For example, it is doing quite 
well without containing pointers to third party repositories in the core 
distribution.   Don't expect that to change, the core will remain 
unblemished by proprietary products or reference links.   If you can find
a way to work happily within those constraints, happy hunting.
