  Marketing is great - we all agree - problem is there is a different
between marketing a useful, clean wonderful tool and a smelly pile of
annoying poo ...

  From user feedback so far - F15 with Gnome shell and quite a bit of
brokenness associated with the introduction of systemd may not be (is
not?) ready to market.

  Change for change sake, of course, is a slow path to where you were
last time you turned around ... :-)

  I do have high hopes for F16 - tho many seem to fear that systemd may
not get the love it needs for such a core component - I am hopeful it
will ...

  F15 is pretty much a beta at the moment - lets hope F16 will be
marketable ..so you marketing types can really go to town!
