The problem is Fedora is  it's not moving fast enough and adding enough 
packages.  The fact that 3-4 people can deliver what they can't is 
preposterous.

They really need to take a hard look  at this.  I should;d not have to 
go to kde-redhat, Dag Wieers, FreshRPMS and NewRPMs get to software 
(which is compiled for Fedora) for Fedora.   I should be getting it from 
Fedora......

Well, I would if they offered it....

In the meantime if Fedora is being blatant about ensuring their 
incompatibility with the above named repositories (as many accuse them 
of being) then they need to stop that nonsense too.

Fedora should encourage, not discourage users.

Honestly, the only reason I'm not using SUSE right now is because Fedora 
is the only distro  I could find that managed a release with the latest 
GNOME and KDE.   Most distro can mange one but not the other (for some 
reason).

On a related note, I'm an oddball who actually likes *both* GNOME and KDE..
