The advice you usually get when you want changes in fedora is "submit
patches". However the most attractive point about free software is that
once something has been done correctly by anyone, everyone else can use
it without repeating the work. If you are going to rant, it doesn't
seem like too much to ask to look in the obvious places to see if the
improvement you want already exists.
