Come on guys get over it, it's only a few days. I would rather see
Fedora delayed a few days and have things work a bit better than to have
it rushed out the door.
I like what Redhat has done here. We can't expect RedHat to remain
around forever if they don't make a profit. Sure it would be great if
they support us free, forever, but it just isn't in the cards.
