Some less spoonfeeding of decisions and more discussion in public instead of 
presenting pre-cooked proposals the entire circle of power already agrees on, 
would help greatly here.

Look at it this way, Fedora is all about Freedom, but since the merger the 
Freedom for contributers (esp. packagers) has been greatly reduced. Take the 
new release engineering proposals for example, I have some ideas about this, 
but the entire release engineering crowd had already precooked there ideas and 
unanimously disagreed with mine, or atleast that is how I perceived this.

Most typically of all this I guess is this alinea: This will probably be my 
last mail in this thread, as I see no use in continuing this dicussion, why?
Because I no longer believe that discussions like this will cause any changes.
