Yes, tabling this issue and working out a sustainable solution would 
have been the appropriate approach. So far, to me, FESCO's decision is a 
short-sighted hip-shot, without any foundation  nor long term-perspective.

Harmful to FESCO, harmful to Fedora, without providing a solution.

Well, I am sure, FESCO will now will initiate the necessary measures to 
initiate the "youth protection" certification processes, whose absence 
so far legally threads Fedora vendors/distributors from different 
countries around the globe?

Pardom? In a democracy, the natural consequence of people feeling 
dissatisfied with the ruling party, is to vote against them or to 
abstain from voting, when feeling "there is no voteable candidate" or 
when feeling "voting is useless".
