How many Fedora users are there?
How many Fedora users are there?

I've read through the comments below and I'm troubled by all the misc deriding comments. This was the rough lifecycle of the idea:
1. person proposes an idea that they didn't think would be a big deal
2. another person counters that it will be a big deal
3. yet another person comes up with a place in between the two that balances out the effectiveness with a much smaller amount of controversiality.
4. the latter idea carries forth.
It seems to me that is EXACTLY how it is all supposed to work.
We want people to propose stuff, have it countered and have a resulting course of action which helps both.
Isn't that what we did here?

Any topic that is even remotely controversial will spawn a small group of very vocal extremists. Take for instance the huge difference between the venomous tone of many comments about dunc-tank on Debian mailing lists and a select number of blogs, and compare that to the outcome of the GR:s on the topic. Turns out that Debian developers in general are a much more reasonable bunch than you'd think from reading debian-devel.
