Thx a lot for this information. But let us first try to bring this 
discussion to an end.

Still, the major questions: Do we really want:

a) Zope/Plone developers not to use Fedora? But instead choose eg. 
Debian, because apt-get install does the trick for them.

b) Admins who then have to maintain Zope/Plone in an production 
environment over its life cycle not choose Fedora? Because apt-get 
install on a Debian system does the trick for them.

c) Very experienced Admins *maybe* choose Fedora (because they *really* 
love it) and use livna/rpmfusion packages, but in the end have the 
problem about the lack of support and the lack of additional python 
modules for Zope/Plone.

d-z) A whole bunch of people who are pissed of, because of a lot of 
other reasons, that don't come to my mind immediately. But I'm quite 
sure there are more... :-)
