Very well said.  Users want a product that just works
straight out without having to "search, yum their way,
compile their way", etc with all the great stuff 
"
mplayer, xine,
 xmms with mp3 support, java, flash and the browser
 plugins for
 them, etc.
"

and since Red Hat is "releasing"/"has released" Fedora
on its own, why not have all these things within
Fedora.  No more trademarks/patents other difficulties
to get what users want.  What is holding Fedora Back
now?  

Best Regards & Happy New Year

P.S.  Sorry for creating an "extension field", an
extension/continuation of this thread which many
people might/or are already offended by its length.  
Try 
# rm -rf Re: Why questions don't get answered, or "No,
I've already RTFM, tell me the answer!"
if it does not work file a bugzilla against rm
command.  
By the way is this the longest thread of the year, or
will it be Peter Whalley, petsupermarket.uol.br 
Enquiring minds want to know.
