If you'd said that to me, I would have let it go.  I will not, however, 
stand by while you say it about Jesse.  He does deserve your respect.  
Here's why:

1) If anyone can explain how he does what he does while still being able 
to sleep every once in a while, let me know.
2) He's more modest about it but I am 90% sure the merge wouldn't have 
happened in F7 were it not for him.
3) Sponsor status.  He sponsors more people than anyone else in fedora.  
55 people!  That's 5% of ALL Fedora contributors.
4) Pungi :)

and this list is "what he's done lately :)"

You can disagree with him, but the man's got skills. 

Everyone's doing very difficult work here.  And AFAIK the merge is the 
type of work that has never been done in any community of this size in 
the world before.  We make an operating system, and a good one.  Telling 
people to do work is easy, doing the work and submitting it as a patch 
is not.
