General desktop bloat, Firefox and OpenOffice in particular, especially
as applied to multi-user environments.

The short window of support for individual Fedora releases. I understand
why that is the case, but it's still a pain point. The emergence of EPEL
may reduce this somewhat, providing a wider breadth of free software
that is easily installable and supported on RHEL and "other distros".

Directory services for mere mortals, as already mentioned by Matt
Oquist. Honestly, outside of trivial installations, who gets by with
/etc/passwd? Mad props to the Fedora DS guys for getting the core into
Extras. What about the console? Are we waiting on compatibility w/ GNU
Classpath, the free JDK, either?
