Well Ok I'd like to some people for their actual dissection of what
the problems were. I guess I don't work in production environments
(not that Fedora is even for that??) and didn't realize so many users

that's just me. At least reasoning was given..hopefully the team can
atleast add some more system-config-* programs or something.
