Okay, this _is_ the issue.

I talk about Fedora because it is what I primarily use.
I interject it when I feel it's relevant.
In this thread, I did _not_ interject any additional commentary.
I stayed 100% technical.

Debian people do the same, and you _regularly_ interject it.
And you comment on how it's good, better, etc...
And that's fine.

*** KEY POINT ***
But one thing I do _not_ do is comment on Debian regularly.
But you seem to believe that you should comment on Red Hat regularly.
Kinda sad since I've been more involved with Debian than you have with
Red Hat.

In fact, the Fedora name change seems to have drove people out.
They feel that they can comment on Fedora, because they used Red Hat
Linux prior. And it's almost conflicting, because it hasn't changed,
yet people talk about how it has -- but then base all their views on if
it hadn't.

Because everyone has an opinion on Red Hat these days.
Any other discussion be damned.
