One of the weaknesses of Fedora, in my view, is the apparent lack of interest in what users actually want or need.

The distro that actually seems to care (at the moment) about users is Linux Mint
They use Debian packages, don`t they? That is something I wanted to get away from.
I use Fedora primarily because it is the best distro to use as an early warning system to find out what nonsense will land in RHEL in the future
And otherwise you`d be using Mint?
I`m somewhat surprised that the feeling of apparent desinterest of the makers of Fedora in what its users think seems kinda widespread under its users. Perhaps it`s a wrong impression; if not, it may be something for Fedora.next to address.
Many users probably don`t care as long as Fedora works for them --- and when it doesn`t anymore, they just pick something else?
That surely wouldn`t bring Fedora anywhere near a position in which it should contemplate leading the advancement of FOSS ... unless what users of FOSS think is indeed irrelevant.
