I think there's some truth in that statement, except for the "nobody feels
responsible" part.  FESCo and many other community members try very
hard to ensure the packages in the distribution are not broken, don'.t cause
a bad user experience, and are generally robust.

That is the definition of a product.  Fedora has never been a product.
Fedora is a community driven distribution and as such has no central
or overriding authority to tell people that volunteer their time to go do
some specific thing they don't feel like doing.

At best, FESCo can tell people no.  However, they'd have to know
about something bad before it happened, and there are far too many
packages to monitor in that fashion under today's setup.
