Would you accept that line of reasoning from Microsoft or any

Should we expect less from fedora?
The security features provided in Fedora is probably the best that you
can get out of any operating system.

Feel free to look at pace of security fixes being provided and check out
how competitive that is to any other operating system. So the pace of
security updates is not what I am talking about. My line of reasoning is
dont install and add yourself additional burden over management of
software that you dont use. Simple.
