It is your age, and there has been nothing gradual about it.. Look the
world has moved a lot in the last 30 years, and we have gone past the point
where current developers are humouring us old folk for making jokes about
IDE-operators. It is not a joke as much as a "wow those people are
pathetic" in the same way when we were younger and wondered why "old"
people still wore double polyester flare bottom pants in the late 1980's.

The world has moved on... and Fedora is moving with it. I realize that a
lot of us grognards have been trying to keep Fedora the Unix of 1987 when
X11 was cool and NNTP was the way things got communicated. However its not
going to happen.. and we either are going to have to get out of the way of
the steamroller or get rolled over it.
