This is silly, folks.  I will agree that the tone of some posts to
this thread has been quite rude, and that much of the bleating was of
the unenlightened, kneejerk variety.  But I hardly think, since
community volunteers carry much of the weight of the support duties
here, that it's any less rude to suggest that we should not speak our
minds freely, or that the original question was inappropriate.

Quality speaks for itself.  For as long as Red Hat maintains its
standards, the community isn't going anywhere, and I'll continue to
buy my copy every 6 months.  I don't see anything wrong with
periodically questioning our vendor decisions, and I think it's
equally valuable for Red Hat to witness the discussions, even if
they're occasionally rude and uncalled for.  You can sometimes learn
as much from your thoughtful detractors as from your fans.

That is my humble opinion.
