The direction Fedora is heading in is about as good as can possibly be
imagined right now, as far as I can see. I can't speak more highly
about what you guys have done and appear to be doing there. That is
the only reason I'm even bothering to be on f-a-b.

I'm not so positive about the messaging; not everyone is as careful as
you are, Max. And even when it is careful, it seems like it isn't
getting picked up by the conventional wisdom- I'm not sure I have good
advice on that last part, I'm afraid.
