Here's one of the problems with what is happening with Linux:

It started out being incredibly difficult (i started back with Linux 
around Red Hat 4.0). After a few years it became incredibly easy. Now it 
seems it's starting to become difficult again. It used to be simple: you 
start the installation, pick which packages you want, and do the 
install.  Now it seems this is becoming, with FC7, a different beast. 
Now you might have to download the iso's that contain the softwares you 
want. you want KDE, download the KDE iso. You want GNOME, download the 
GNOME iso.

I just feel like this is going to send people running from fedora core 
over to Unbuntu or PCLinuxOS.
