Awesome. Accusing-people-of-bikeshed painting again. It's like tne Godwin's
Law of Fedora Devel or something. You get to be all snarky sounding and
dismissive at the same time. "Ooooh, the people who don't agree with me are
BIKESHED PAINTING! Zing!"

I've been actually working (not as a top priority, but still) on this "shed"
for quite a long time -- see the sudo bug referenced earlier (the key piece
in my mind), but also things like bug #18313.

So, if you insist on using the analogy: I'm sorry a buncha hooligans came
and painted graffiti all over the bikeshed. I'd like to put it back to its
former utilitarian finish even if it's a bit ugly, then from there you can
argue about colors all you like while we slowly actually get it into shape.
