The thing that eludes me is that with all of your superior knowledge, why do you remain sitting on the sidelines and taking cheap shots instead of joining the development team where your opinions have a chance of becoming part of the solution? I'm gathering that you have bugzilla'd your corrections for the xorg.conf man page so that your input doesn't only live and die on the list. I hate to say this because I, over time, have come to realize that you do have some knowledge of these things and also to realize that your attitude sucks. Perhaps you should be using a distribution or software that is more aligned towards your views...perhaps slackware or lfs. One thing for sure, if I were a Fedora developer, I'd tune you out.
