There are other ways to open a terminal other than that menu item. 
Before this discussion, I didn't even know that 'Open Terminal'
existed there.  I have used Gnome for ages.

The Terminal is in the start menu with all the other applications.  
It is a little hard to figure out where it lives.  I never can
remember that it is in System Tools.

There are also other fast ways to open a terminal.  It is easy to make
a launcher on the panel.  The second thing I do with a new install is
make a terminal launcher.  This is the proper way to do things.  The
launcher is in the same place with all the applications that people
like to use frequently.

I think it would quite reasonable to argue for a terminal launcher in
the default panel.  This is something which is easy for Fedora to
change.  And something which Fedora already customizes.
