I'm sory, but what a bollocks of an argument.

By this same reasoning, Redhat and Fedora would never have fooled with
the menu layout for Gnome because what's good enough from upstream is
good enough for RH/Fedora

There are plenty of packages that RH/Fedora change to meet the specific
needs of their distro.  Another example is the exclusion of
gnome-desktop-backgrounds which seems to be very much like you suggest
that Fedora should be doing with backgrounds.  Gnome-desktop-backgrounds
is officially part of gnome-2.10 so why isn't Fedora shipping it.  It's
good enough for upstream.

So lets not argue that because OOo doesn't ship templates, Fedora
shouldn't because history speaks otherwise.  If you don't want templates
included then just say it.

Sorry if this seems a little rude. ;-]
