According to the option set you'd like me to use, which is apparently
"the sum total of all options for installing Linux, which are applicable
to all distributions, and by which you can even create your own
distributions", there's effectively no such thing as a Fedora
distribution (Core or otherwise). Changing the rules to make you the
"winner" may be satisfying to you, but it from my perspective it just
utterly guts any possibility for reasonable discussion. I'm done trying
to reason with you.
