Whoa, Seth, sorry you took it so personally. Certainly wasn't my intent. A couple of things:

1) I'm running development distributions; I expect strange things to happen every now and then. One can only laugh at them, that's what I tried to do.

2) I do get onto the fedora-test list occasionally when things go really wrong. I have also occasionally put things into bugzilla. I have certainly posted about the challenges of keeping multiarch systems current in the past (though not recently).

Believe it or not, this article was not an attack on Fedora - it was a discussion of how it's getting better.

That's how you know you've written a good article.

PS: I think Multiarch support is important. But good article! :)

that there is a difference between an editor and a Commander in Chief.

Powerful interests don't need to 'hold speeches' when they 0wn the
network media and the voting machines.
