That is precisely the point.  We are seeing attempts to replace
"good" situations, where imperfections can be smoothed out by a user
by changing configurations when needed, but something which pretends
to be "perfect" and leaves you high and dry often enough.

Oh, for example see

attached to bug 460571.

Are you seriously suggesting that a group participating in
fedora-testing list will see an every piece of a misbehaving
hardware and will see every possible configuration?  Most of
affected users will not bother at all before dismissing affected
software as junk.
