I agree this is a dead horse but it should not be. We are either a
community or we are not. Red Hat is in business and they can do with
there products what they want to. But then don't ask us to put money
into a Fedora Foundation where we can pay out money to be ignored.

And when we complain we get the Red Hat shuffle. Go complain on a
different list so we can be ignored on two lists at the same time.
I am not concerned so much with Fedora or Red Hat not be able to do
what we think aught to be done but the fact that it is made obvious
that they will not even consider or opinions is intolerable.

I am not going to switch distributions but I resent our opinions being
ignored out of hand. And Raul that is exactly what your company is
doing no matter what you say.
