If this discussion has nothing to do with the current thread, start a 
new one and dont mention the same topic there and please keep the 
discussion related to actual development rather than opinions and 
editorials in this list.

Its more or less well understood that Fedora's current focus has not 
been very much into integration and polish and that should change for 
the better with more people working on the problem and contributing or 
changing the focus a bit more towards that.

We are having a ongoing board discussion about bringing more guidelines 
on updates and other related things "inspired" by this discussion and we 
will have the results in due time.

The level of useful opinions expressed in this thread is going down and 
people are lumping altogether different issues or talking in circles. 
Time to move on.
