Power-off stupidity remains in Fedora 17

[Kernel Guardian]

Thank you for bugzilla link.
Maybe it would be good for Fedora (and other Linux distributions) to help
Mint developers in advancement Cinnamon as gnome-shell replacement in GNOME
3 environment.
Since it is impossible to influence the development of gnome-shell it would
be nice to have some replacement. Unfortunately that is waste of time and
resources. I assume that main goal for Linux generally is to have bigger
and bigger user base. Decent GNOME DE could be key point
for achieving  this goal. Many users haven't proper technical skills to
hack DE.
Waiting for GNOME developers to polish all GNOME environment and make it
usable for non-technical users is just waste of time. Linux distributions
have no time for that luxury.
At least that is my humble opinion.
Over the last several generations of students I made a big effort to spread
FOSS and Linux movement. Unfortunately after GNOME 3, many of them have a
problems, especially hardware issues, to run latest Fedora versions. Almost
half of them give up from Linux because hardware incompatibility or lack
of technical skills to make GUI usable and user friendly.

Regards
