To be honest that's fine by me - I don't mind downloading from a  
vendors site. Sure it would be nice if Fedora came with absolutely  
everything I wanted - but realistically it never will, even for  
software that does meet policy, and downloading from other sources is  
the reallity. And that's true with any desktop OS.
