As a self proclaimed kernel dev, I'm surprised to hear you talking about "the win". That aside, it seems that you are in the minority. Most of us (currently) here are quite comfortable with how things are. You could offset this with effort. Consider the Fedora Legacy program which suffocated due to lack of effort - it basically did what you wanted but no one wanted to put in the effort - Fedora is a community project. -- Fedora 7 : sipping some of that moonshine ( www.pembo13.com )
