Goodbye, Fedora

[Kip Thomas]

Whoa!  The big gun AC-130 coming out and hang with RMS with that footnote
quote from RMS.  I like it.
It's ironic that a freedom loving guy ESR would selectively deviate on
issues of the contrary.

I secretly hope someday the ESR ship will turn around.  I really do.  I'll
wait.

Personally, I always actively run different distros so that I can acquire
the ability to approximately compare apples to apples.  Three times now
Fedora managed to win me back.  I hope my experience means this opinion is
balanced.  I do see problems of not including codecs and how it'd affect
desktop adoption.  I think that's a problem for Marketing.  Oh yeah, I use
Fedora for desktop.  Actually a powerful latop as desktop.  I just don't
like noise.
