I don't agree with this.
I think the Fedora developers could and should make more of an effort
to get feedback from users.

My strong impression is that the Anaconda developers, for example,
have little or no idea what problems people have installing Fedora.
The same problems come up - eg difficulty reading CDs -
issue after issue.
I think at the very least people should be asked 
at the end of the installation if they are willing to complete 
a short survey, asking what problems (if any) they encountered,
or what suggestions they have to clarify the installation.

Perhaps there could be a Fedora team concerned with user interface.
