Hi Phil,

There are only so many hours in a day for the primary developers of Fedora
Core.   If there are many people who are concerned about VMware issues
then there is an opportunity to get together and address them.   The point
is that the constant demands and rants that a solution fall from above
aren't as fruitful as banding together and adding value.   If the people
truly concerned with the issue can't provide workable solutions, how are
the few developers at RedHat supposed to do better?  Already issues are
outlined in release notes etc.

Cheers,
Sean
