Of course, although I did not buy 2Gb for a PDF reader ;)

Feel free to bring your reason up on this list if it's got anything to
do with Fedora ;)

You're probably right about the Gnome PDF viewer (although I believe
it uses the ghostscript rastering engine which is still shipped with
Fedora).
Bugs for Red Hat/Fedora products can be entered at:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla
You need to create an account, but it's worth it. The Gnome project
has its own bugtracker at http://bugzilla.gnome.org
Bugzilla can be a bit difficult to use, but since you've got developer
experience I'm sure you are able to work with it.
