Yeah, I don't mean to say it has 0 value. There are still the things
you indicate that are advantages.

Yeah. 

Some things that might help some here: 

* Make out openid support better/really good. That way you _can_ use
  your fedora id when commenting or posting in any place that supports
  openid. 

* I see someone has made a fedora wp theme, that could help people
  hosting elsewhere get some of the look and feel they may want. 

Thanks for the post...
