you must understand that you can't do any "cleanup" coming to your mind if you are building an *operating system* without care for the real use cases out there or you will and in a very clean environment nobody but you will use over the long because nobody wants to work with a operatiung system where every few weeks thins left and right are falling down progress is not defined by destory others environments for a theoretical better future because the way some hardline "cleanupers" will never stop acting that way and begin to deprecate things which *now* you are telling everybody has to migrate to to deprecate 3 years later a *operating system* is *the base* for others work and as long some people don't understand that they are doing harm not only to the distribution and the current users, they damage Linux as a whole ecosystem because nobody right in his mind will migrate to a operating system where his work is destroyed every few months or years *that is* why microsoft is that sucessful while they are shipping technical crap - you have to find a way to develop and improve things without breaking careless left and right around you or you end meaningless - the way of such development is replace code but keep interfaces and configurations compatible and unchanged - yes that's harder than throw away anything when ever you like to do so and start from scratch - but if you don't want to do this you should not pretend you are developing an operating syteem *you* fear Fedora ends meaningless if the progress is not fast enough? the reality is Fedora ends meaningless if it is only a technical playground with no stability in interfaces endusers and developers outside the distribution can build on top of and the reason why Unix and unix-like systems are survived that many years are stable interfaces until a few years ago the "throw away and break anything"-attitude started that much
