This is a user list...whining here is merely pissing in the wind.

That's only true if the designers don't care enough about users
to pay attention to the whining.

Its not possible or efficient for developers and designers to read all
the mails in the fedora-list to gather feedback.

OK, but does that differ greatly from what I said?

Yes it does. If you want designers to care about what you consider
design bugs you need to use the bug tracking system to provide detailed
input on it rather than send mails to user lists and expect the
developers to read that.


A lot of
decisions seem to be made with no thought about the real-world
effects.

Decisions are never made arbitrarily. They are almost always driven by
real world considerations. Developers dont operate in silos. However it
is not possible to anticipate all the scenarios and hence specific
feedback mechanisms have been provided.


For example if someone wanted to build PCs with
fedora pre-installed, what might the user expect to find on
it?

OEM copies of Fedora would have whatever the OEM vendors decide to
provide.
