a volunteer or a even a Redhat employee).

Sadly enough, we live in the entitlement age, read: No matter what we do
or don't, no matter how much we have contributed, or not, we are
entitled to a vote, to complain, to be heard. Hence the lack of
"excellent" behavior.
Sadly enough, we are all a part of this age. Some better, some worse.

Never the less, as someone that has been a (very small) part of Fedora
since, well, F1, and saw it slowly expand from a half-done RedHat 9
replica to the best bleeding edge distro, I can only share your
appreciation for the people driving this project.

Hopefully the recent problems will be solved using some kind of widely
accepted compromise, paving the road to an ever better Fedora.
