That's because it's missing that important feature that we're expecting
from a distribution - integration.
Seriously. I'm expecting the fedora teams to sort out licensing. I'm
expecting fedora teams to sort out configuration defaults. I'm
expecting them to make reasonable decisions about which available
service in a choice of services will be the best choice, (sendmail vs
whatever else).
I didn't say I wanted a system that wasn't integrated. I want the
integration that has been done so well on redhat and fedora releases for
years. I just want it on fc5 too.
