Yes! I think we can all get behind this sort of vision. But making a better
Fedora than Fedora may not be the best strategy. We can be more clever than
that.
Well, with Fedora 7, it looks like things have gone to another level.
Look...no 'Core' anymore...

I don't think you're seeing opposition to a new distro. I think you're
seeing a recognition that yet-another-distro doesn't necessarily solve
the long-term problem of building the best platform for innovation.
If we accept the vision of a distro that can take OpenSolaris forward
to the next level, what would that next level look like?
Maybe this?
