Which would also work...

However, the horse as been truly flogged now, I am sure you can see that.

Perhaps, as I stated earlier, that yourself and any other like minded 
person, should get together and start working on it.

Its more than clear that Fedora is not going to change (I don't think 
there was a request to make it change, but I could have missed that 
email), so its time to put step up and produce some results.
