It's a business decision.
If they supported ogg decoding in the player, they may get more customers.
Supporting ogg in the player doesn't even guarantee Red Hat/Fedora
would include it - it would just make it easier.

More customers though is a good thing, right?
Would there be enough to offset the cost?
Possibly - if for no other reason then there would be slashdot buzz
about it, giving free advertising to slimdevices (and not just for ogg
users)

I really can not imagine it would be difficult to support ogg in the firmware.
I also am having trouble understanding why you are opposed to it - did
an ogg file damage your hard drive or something?

It wouldn't take anything away from you or how you use slimdevices -
it would open up slimdevices to more people. Yes, there would be a
cost - it would take a developer some time, a QA guy some time, a
developer to fix what the QA guy found, and the occasional bugs after
release. Would the ROI be worth it? I think it would.
