Well, has anyone looked at it from Pluto's point of view? I mean, demoted from planethood to the status of a dwarf? It's a sad day!
"Pluto's Lament"
http://daypoems.net/poems/2801.html
More seriously, I have in my library an 1855 astronomy book that lists 26 (!) planets, and 18 of them are what we would call asteroids today. I think that sort of planet proliferation is the bullet the IAU dodged today, and I'll bet their strict constructionist definition will stand.
The problem, I think, is that the new Red Hat focus orphans people like me who have no need for several hundred dollars a year in support fees, but who also are not bleeding edge developers. I use Red Hat to support a small poetry web site, http://www.daypoems.net. Your new strategy appears to leave me without an upgrade path from Red Hat 8 (short of the hassle of reformatting my hard drive and reconstructing my system), and with the prospect of security updates running out early next year. How does Fedora do anything for a customer like me?
Thanks,
Tim

A poem titled "Columbia's Seven" has been posted to the DayPoems website, and I think it speaks for everyone. www.daypoems.net
