Fedora defers systemd to F15

Fedora 14 will introduce numerous package updates, new features, and bug fixes and not a single one of them will have achieved your arbitrary threshold of "the vast majority of Fedora users" asking for it.

Raymond Chen has written a number of thought experiments which are valuable for those who want to understand why their idea is stupid before they propose it. The relevant one here is not "Features do not exist by default" (as you seem to think) but "What if two people did this?"

If you are entitled to a systemd-less Fedora just because not making systemd would have been zero effort, obviously all other Fedora users are also entitled to new versions which lack whatever features they don't happen to want.

But all these extra versions of Fedora require considerable integration and maintenance effort. The project will inevitably collapse if this approach is taken. On the other hand, Fedora is pointless if it each new versions just consists of a few uncontroversial bug fixes against the previous one.

So Fedora has a process to decide which new features land. In those parts of this discussion which aren't taken up with you ironically asking other people to "get a life", it is clear that the process failed, badly.
