Valid points.

However, I reject the implied notion that ALL feedback from Fedora users 
must be stifled -- which is the only conclusion one may draw from Fedora 
leaders asking people to (a) not comment on the list, and (b) not 
comment on the bug.

I'm curious what Fedora leaders think is the proper forum for __Fedora 
users__ to register complaints against this policy.  Voting seems to be 
the most efficient, and least spam-y method of doing so, but I am open 
to suggestions!
