I, for one, look down upon every last one of you for never trying cow's milk with maple syrup. My digestive system takes it just fine. My taste buds say it's great. My subjective take on maple syrup milk and my asshole reign supreme on this matter, filthy peasants.
Don't any of you get me started on underwear or potato bread. Those are super serious cans of worms right there.

My first reading was more or less: "Their decision must be the right one (for Fedora users), as they are not idiots". Now, you might understand that this upset me, because at Google, they are not idiots too, and decided to drop ext3 support from chrome os and disable using sd cards in Android Kitkat for "security reasons".
But as I look at it now, the sentence only says: "Their decision must be the right one (for them), as they are not idiots", to which I have no objections at all, even in the knowing that companies full of clever people occasionally still do make wrong decisions for themselves. But that's none of my business.
So, I take back the "fuck you" and take your "fuck off" on my chin.
Bye
Personally I think that they have little desire to be the bleeding edge OS anymore, and their reasoning is that they don't want their bug reports to be filled with people complaining about their f2fs filesystems breaking, which they probably think is the case. However, that could be false .

The bugs Phoronix linked to were a year and a half old; the later of the two refers to kernel 3.9. In kernel terms, that's ancient. Yet the article was written as if the response given there was the Fedora kernel maintainers' *current* thinking, and off went the Phoronix cavalry on the charge about how silly Fedora kernel maintainers are.
Knowing Josh and Eric (but, disclaimer, not knowing the specific details of this particular case), I think "the reasoning" here was most likely "we haven't thought about this at all lately because no-one asked".
If someone had just added a comment on the bug saying "hey, it's now 18 months later, can we look at this again?" then I'm pretty sure the response would've been something like "sure, let's see..." followed by a nice no-drama discussion. But because people got the wrong idea from the article and wrote long screeds with stuff like "Something isn't right. I thought Fedora was suppose to be on the leading edge. Is this some sort of political thing with Redhat/Samsung?", "Its just amazing how some distro and company can be hostile to their users and especially enthusiasts willing to try new technologies here and there.", naturally the devs are going to get defensive.
