I've no qualms about having this kind of opinion piece.  I did want to
say that I think Fedora Magazine on the whole should retain a
user-centric slant, and not get too focused on internal community
issues.

This doesn't mean I'm against running this article.  In the larger
view I would like to avoid having too many of such articles.  The
magazine could easily become less interesting over time to wider
audiences if that happened.
