At least you have the ability to have some input upstream, unlike with Windows. Once it is in RHEL, it is simply *going* to be in CentOS, full stop. If you don't want it in CentOS, then it needs to be yelled about when it appears in Fedora. Yes, this is work. But many are already doing this work; it is those people whose voices are being heard; it is also some of those people that are making dynamic networking happen (which is useful for more than just laptops). If you want your voice to be heard, you have to use your voice in the venue where changes can happen. Once it is in a particular major version of CentOS, it is simply not going away (unless RHEL removes it).

I'm sure it's *far* too much work for, say, the fedora development team to put out once a quarter a notice to upstream, and maybe CentOS, Scientific Linux, and whatever other main user groups to inform them of major changes, and see the feedback.... Nahhh, who cares whether end users are happy, they'll just do what is K3wl, never mind if it's appropriate, or overly complicated.... mark

But overall, why do you think I'm here suggesting that CentOS users follow Fedora development? And, if following the actual development cycle is too hard, we actually do produce something else that's designed for exactly what you're asking: the actual Fedora OS releases. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm at fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader

And, I know, because I was one of the people very skeptical of systemd's inclusion. "Powers to be" didn't really come into it. I'm not going to argue about systemd in specific, because that horse is so dead that its zombie skeleton version is _also_ dead, but the general point is important enough that I'll say it again: anyone who puts in the effort to contribute can have a meaningful say in any and every part of Fedora. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm at fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader
