Oh come off it!
Look at the post again: http://lwn.net/Articles/542734/
It was in response to "I am not very happy to see Fedora going this way."
"I'm sorry the project isn't going the way you like" is a perfectly valid response to "The project isn't going the way I like". What other response do you expect? "Oh, OK, we'll change the project's direction to please one commenter on LWN?" Maybe the direction *should* change, but presumably it's been decided by Fedora contributors on Fedora lists for various good and bad reasons, changing it based on one commenter on a non-Fedora site, no matter how well reasoned the points, would be a strange way to run the project.

Oh, so nowadays it doesn't matter whether a point makes sense but where and by whom the point was made? I'd call *that* a strange way to run a project.

No. I didn't say it doesn't matter. I implied one person's opinion generally matters less than the combined opinions of all the other users and contributors who've participated in the project and the discussions that have already taken place. If that one person changes the rest of the project's opinion by well-reasoned arguments then by all means change the direction, but don't do it just because one person makes some good points somewhere on the web, which most of the contributors haven't read.

Yes, obviously, I assumed that went without saying!
