Is that really true about the ratio?  This ESR "from Hell's heart I stab 
at thee" stuff is going to stay in its own thread.  You can score the 
thread to nothing, but really since it does exist and involves Fedora 
maybe it should get read.

This "core/moderator only" and "I mustn't be recorded" stuff going on is 
a pattern I have seen elsewhere.  I hope others have seen where it leads 
too and maybe have some caution about it :-(  A good idea is a good idea 
even if it came from the keyboard of a non-anointed person...
