I believe when I will see it.  So far when I encounter a statement
of that sort I invariably end up screwed in some moment.  After a
while those thing mostly work but an operative word here is
"mostly".  An outside world is a messy place.

Also nobody bothered to mention how somebody "command line averse"
is supposed to get to whatever was left of those controls. If I
missed something on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/VolumeControl
then I do not know where.  If the current state is just "rawhide
temporary" then at least this question would be answered.
