it does not and yes it depends on the package, but hey it's "new and 
cool" while a recent and well maintained distribution with *one* 
cnrealized package management is the biggest benefit of a linux distribution

any thoughts throwing away this centralized and dependency based package 
management (even in parts) will do much more harm then not follow every 
recent buzz-thing *especially* in case of a distribution released every 
6 months

all that talking about "competitors" is just FUD and nothing else to 
justify large changes for a unknown win - simple example: if i would 
care about ubuntu and gnome i would not use Fedora, frankly i switched 
to Linux in times Ubuntu was still the most famous distribution 
*because* i did not like to switch from Windows to a different OS with 
the slightest Windows touch at all and to say it frankly *because* i did 
not search a operating system many people are using *but* one which fits 
*my needs* and Fedora was that operating system

NOBODY needs Fedora to be similar to Ubuntu
REALLY NOBODY because otherwise we won't need more than one Linux distro
