Fedora has huge impact beyond our immediate userbase because we are the
upstream for RHEL, CentOS, and their further derivatives.

Take a look https://imgur.com/a/58OXYve. This is Fedora EPEL (which is part
of our project!), not the downstreams themselves, but shows just *one*
aspect of that impact. (It's so large that I see I need to figure out how to
tell matplotlib to not shift to e notation!)

I agree that when we make decisions in Fedora, we need to consider direct
users of the OS we make first. But we are also making a system we _want_ to
be useful as an upstream, and taking downstream needs into account is the
only way we can succeed at that.
