I am repelled for several reasons. It sounds like I'm losing things (mp3 and other favorite programs). I am made aware (or getting the impression) that I have to have a completely Genuine Red Hat system or the support is absolutely zero. Even though it is being paid for support.
Of course; it isn't *possible* to support anything someone comes up with. 'we've installed a hacked redhat on a breadboard embedded device, can you fix this device controller issue for us?' isn't something they can do, and trying is silly.
MP3s are, for whatever reason, legal land mines; RedHat is doing the sensible thing in avoiding them.
And, really, they're not going after the desktop; now is not the time.
If they don't plan on attracting the desktop user. This deletion might be viewed as a positive move. I'm sure mp3 inclusion would hinder productivity.
The gnomeMeeting program sounds like it would attract more businesses.
Your breadboarded embedded device sounds interesting. I wouldn't expect them to support such a unique application. It is great that it could be hacked into usability.
