[Fedora-ambassadors-list] Press release for new Fedora 5

[Stephen Krenzel]

   This is in reference to the press release that Clair was quoting in her
first email of this thread.  While the points followed up with regard to yum
are right, the press release as a whole feels a little unprofessional. It
should be cleaned up a bit. Also, we shouldn't need to compare ourselves
with other alternative operating systems "full of viruses". Just announce
what's new, what the release brings to the field and how end users can
benefit and enjoy it. The product, I feel, is strong enough to speak for
itself, no need to deride alternatives. I think Fedora is above that and
doesn't need the senseless hand waving, regardless of what the alternatives
themselves may be doing. It appears the site:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FC5PressRelease is fine , so I'm not sure
where the press release Clair was quoting originated from, but I figured I'd
respond with my thoughts to avoid situations like that in the future. If
I've misinterpreted what was said, just let me know, same thing if you
disagree with me.
Regards,
    Steve
