    Fedora latest created a furore allowing non signed rpms to be installed.

    Open Source devs are another breed, some of them are in dungeons of FOSS and mere mention of closed sends them into a fit. This sometimes prevents progress as evident in Linux desktop world. Mention the word Mono and you will see what I mean.

    There is absolutely no such panacea for a idiot user and its utopia not to expect one.
