+The reason why Fedora isn't much interested in mere users is because
+Fedora is not a real community distro at all.
+
+Fedora is first and foremost a testbest of new technologies for Redhat,
+to experiment with new code that might then later be incorporated into
+RHEL.
+
+Redhat doesn't care much about the end-users of Fedora, they only care
+about attracting skilled developers, since those represent extra unpaid
+labour for them, that ultimately benefits their commercial RHEL distro.
+
+Despite that (and despite what most people think), most of the work on
+Fedora is still done by Redhat employees.
+Without Redhat Fedora would cease to exist (at least in it's current
+form).
+
+I know this might sound harsh to some who didn't know this, but that's
+the reality of it.
+
+If Mageia takes off (and I'm sure it will) it will actually become the
+ONLY other large community distro besides Debian and we might even
+attract quite a few Fedora devs that want to switch to a REAL rpm based
+community distro.
