Jon isn't trafficing in untruths. If something isn't fixed... a situation also known as "broken"... then it would be pulled (at least temporarily), right?

The email Jon includes states clearly that while there may be some ABI incompatibility, the vast majority of applications are easily switchable.

I think you overreacted but not harmfully so... but who wouldn't when someone is talking about ones baby?

My thanks to you for your continuing work on project that I enjoyably benefit from... Fedora!

Fedora Core to drop openmotif

He is drawing up conclusions / looking into the future, maybe not untruths but the artikel makes it looks as if this dropping has already been decided by Fedora, which it hasn't (as things are expected to just work). IOW I feel like he is putting words into the mouth of the Fedora project, the dropping is his conclusion and hasn't been mentioned anywhere on the Fedora lists (sofar).
