This is the dream world for a distributor. It will never happen. Some stuff
does get adjusted "to taste", vendors add fixes that maintainers run
screaming from to fix something for CD date not properly.

Also as distributors we don't expect someone else to take all the flack
if we screw up. "Sorry http://bugzilla.redhat.com or the red hat lists"
is a perfectly reasonable response from a non paying volunteer to a
vendor bug IMHO

My experience is users want it to.... work.
