A lot of the work after Fedora 6 seemed to revolve around making
single-user desktop type access more convenient at the expense of more
general purpose server concepts - and making it boot quickly which isn't
a big priority on boxes that run all the time. And some things even
when not technically broken were annoying, like if a user logs in at the
console keyboard it would kill the audio output being controlled by a
remote user.
