It is also that some of the sysadmins (including me) are scared with the
direction that the distribution seems to be taking. Some new tools seem to
focus mainly on user functionality (which isn't a bad thing) and ignore the
sysadmin side (which is bad). To us adding adding new tools that are less easy
to script or manage with something like cfengine/puppet/etc is a huge step
backwards, we don't care if users can now have a desktop applet so they can
supend/hibernate the machine, we don't want them to be able to do that anyway.
