dwmw2: I grossly oversimplified my post for the purposes of getting it up and going to sleep. I should have said ‘something the size and scope of Debian’ instead of just Debian- my intent was to emphasize that ‘the fedora problem’ is capital-H Hard, and no one should say ‘RH is doing it badly’ without an understanding of the difficulty it entails. I’ll probably post more on this tonight, if I get a chance to get my ideas straight.
