Nobody is pretending it doesn't exist; just stating emphatically that 
the Fedora project isn't at all designed to do anything about it.   Period.

Your choice of course, it just doesn't have anything to do with the

P.S.  I don't think Rahul was mis-representing anything Eric said; rather
      I think he was giving his characterization of the net-effect of
      Eric's request.   You can debate his characterization, but I don't
      think his intent was to deceive.
