I realize nothing can be done about the meta "Guidelines" thrash, but you
know, some would say that if something keeps cropping up, over and over,
you might want to ... I don't know ... fix it! Or at least acknowledge
that these are problems, and come up with a plan to deal with them,
whether it be political (licensing, patent-coverage, etc), or technical (
issues with gnome3, issues with fonts, issues with multimedia, etc).

Ah, yes.....
D. Everybody knows X, Y, or Z is *Completely* and *Utterly" broken and
we keep bringing it up on this mailing list...but *nobody* does
*anything*. Or: Why I can't be bothered with filing bugzillas or
joining/forming a team to "improve" the situation.

The reason people bring up Ubuntu, and Linux Mint is that these
distributions show that Linux Desktop usability is possible. They've come
up with ways to fix the problems. All Fedora seems to come up with is
excuses.
FYI, there is an "E" in there....but it may result in pulling me into
the endless food fight that I feel is counterproductive at this point.
