And thus not obligated to abide by the same objectives as the Fedora
Project. In fact, by reporting things about Fedora, you could say that
FedoraNews /is/ obligated to publish as much material of any sort that may
be useful or interesting to any subset of the population of Fedora users.
Thus they /should/ publish those guides.

And you are welcome to that opinion. And Fedora News is welcome to theirs.
End of story.
The rest of your message wanders off-topic into a general rant about
Orwellian worlds; I choose to ignore the off-topic part.
