These are the people who do annoy me.

Instead of seeing that it isn't included, and going to the original site to build his own - he /blames/ fedora?

I can understand a query, concerning /why/ the feature isn't available, and questions on how to get it back (whether that means building, getting binaries, getting plugins, etc). But total ignorance is what annoys me.

I use fedora, and I'm glad I do - even if I don't find their political veiws of my taste. If I want codecs, binary drivers, or other closed-source items, I get them and integrate them into my system of choice, because it is my system of choice and I am comfortable with the fact I need to go and get that functionality.

If that user can't be bothered to read a main webpage or two concerning the 'free'-ness of fedora, then he deserves to be stung (as I can't count the number of times I've been informed of fedora's goal).
