Right and when its fixed you have the burden of keeping yourself 
updated. I wouldnt ever want that additional work for programs that I 
dont even use which is why I advocate always keeping track of the 
packages that you install and install software only when you will use it 
instead of dealing with random bloat through a blind installation of 
everything just because it happened to be supplied in Fedora Core.
