Huh?  Please point out where I allegedly "attacked" you?
About the only two "flamatory" statements I made where ...

  "Translation:  PISS ... I'M DISTRO PISSING ...."
and
  "Maybe you should check your facts before distro pissing next time?"

Given your "vague facts" to this point, I won't comment further except for ...

First off, you said it went in to the release.  Since then, you've
backtracked.

Understand I'm _on_ RH/Fedora lists (more than 2 dozen)!  And I didn't
see this "discussion."

It sounds like people confused on the new Internet-aware Anaconda
facilities that "register" with the Fedora Project (which are Red
Hat-owned/maintained) servers for Fedora Core updates, Fedora Extras
additions, etc...  That's _new_ in Fedora Core 6.

I don't know how many times Red Hat does something and the pundits blow
it out-of-proportion.  Like "Blue Curve" -- it was a _theme_!  It merely
created a common theme for GNOME and KDE.  And Red Hat was the first to
admit they had far more GNOME developers than KDE developers on-staff,
hence their bias when it comes to icons, default apps, etc...

So again, _please_ give me some links.  I'm not asking because I'm
trying to be a "hard ass" -- but so I am aware of any privacy issues.
That's all!
