For me the submission of an RFE is a roll of the dice. In a few instances, very few, the developer takes the time to discuss why the RFE is rejected. The typical

In quantity, yes. Quality???
The large majority of code in inherited from upstream projects and flows back into it. A standard for code or enforcement of such within Fedora makes a negligible difference to the end user experience unlike the kernel. Your assumption on that is incorrect.
Not so. A piece of code developed within Fedora Core impacted the end user experience. If there had not been any impact we wouldn't be having this discussion.
