I don't see what your beef with RPM is. 

In a similar way, if someone makes a opinion, there is no need to paint a broad brush just
because the person also happens to be a Fedora contributor. Again, you need to differentiate
between opinions representative of a project and personal ones.

He has identified a pattern.  He has requested that the pattern stop.  

This is not an overbroad brush.

It might be wrong, but it is not on its face an overreach.

If you want to see why there are differences of opinion on the virtues of dpkg and RPM you can
just do some simple web searches.  There have been endless threads on the topic.  I don't find
the discussion personally interesting but there are definitely technical differences that
matter in some cases.

You need citations in order to demonstrate a pattern. I don't see that happening here. I don't
see why someone trying to demonstrate that there is unwanted hostility would want to destroy
his own argument by wanting RPM to completely ceast to exist either. Sure, there are
differences and in some cases there are advantages to each of the solutions too. Remember,
Intel switching from Ubuntu to Fedora claiming RPM to be a reason?

You continue to miss the point by such an astounding margin that I think it's better if we
walk away and just forget this ever happened.

If you don't have a point worth understanding, feel free to walk away. I thought you had one
while engaging in this conversation. Good luck.
