The following letter was received from Eric S. Raymond, who has sent it to a number of Linux-related publications and mailing lists. It is presented verbatim. "After thirteen years as a loyal Red Hat and Fedora user, I reached my limit today, when an attempt to upgrade one package pitched me into a four-hour marathon of dependency chasing, at the end of which an attempt to get around a trivial file conflict rendered my system unusable."

I read as well. Unfortunately, ESR has managed to succesfully stir a flamebait on topic that has nothing to do with Fedora issue other than screwing his own system. As a result, lot of back stabbing posts showing they are not better than that rant topic. I find sad ESR used his fame to commit such stupidity. Bravo.
