And why is that?
I consider myself a power user, and have been using linux for over 10
years.

FC3 is by far the best distro I have tried (I have stayed with the RH
line mostly).  I have it running 24 hours a day, never have to reboot
(except to activate the kernel updates), and have never had a single
crash or instability.

Yes, when I add new hardware (Like scanner, etc) I have to
locate/install drivers, and configure things, but as yet I have not
tried a device that I cannot get to work.

IIRC NetworkManager is a 3rd party package.  You certainly cannot blame
Fedora for problems with other packages.

If you refuse to post a problem to bugzilla then you hardly qualify to
complain about something that either is not a problem for others or that
has been handled in other ways than complaining on this list.

If it isn't reported it isn't a bug.
If it isn't reported, how can you expect anyone to know what the problem
you see is, or take action to fix it?
