Ok. While I do indeed think that open-vm-tools makes a pretty good case 
to argue that Fedora's kernel module policy is inadequate, Brandon I 
think you're overreacting by leaving the community over this. I doubt 
there are many fedora contributors that agree with every bits of 
policies we have in place, but that doesn't mean we lose sleep over it :-)
