OS politics and legalism does not help me troubleshoot a broken
system or application.
If I have a problem with Fedora and I have to go elsewhere other
than the fedora list, then I think there is a flaw somewhere.
Very frequently there are ideological exchanges in this list, maybe
there should be a new list called fedora-ideology-list. :-) That way the
fedora-users would remain as technical repository of idea for less
experienced users.
