We made the change 2 days ago.  You're belaboring the point just a bit
now.

Also, the cheapest of these is $13k.  That's roughly 10x the cost of a
mid-high end home desktop and well outside Fedora's normal target user.
If someone wants to spend that kind of money on an enterprise server and
run Fedora on it, I'll gladly thank them for being a user but most of
those kinds of purchases are done by businesses that want something a
bit more stable and supported.
