Actually, I think the real issue here is that we leaving something the
same because a sysadmin (of all people) didn't bother to read the
release notes before installing an OS, and then when things go wrong
(presumably on a 'production' system) they are going to whine that they
didn't know until it was too late.

This change hasn't been snuck into fedora without a heads up, and
regardless of how you feel about the change, complaining that the
administrator was unaware seems a little far fetched.
