Totally.

And if that's the case, I do think it would have made a tremendous
difference regarding the community reaction if it had been made totally
clear from the very beginning.

I don't know, maybe you could have said it in your announces.

Or maybe someone from RedHat who is _not_ part of the Fedora community
could have taken over the issue and communicated instead of you.

Anyway, now that you explained it, I feel totally dumb ^_^

Please, do clarify this outside of this list so that the FUD about the
openness and transparency of the Fedora Community can stop (and yes, even
if I've been part of the FUD, it's been hurting me).
