This is ludicrous to anyone who has worked at Red Hat at some point in their career. Red Hat internally is almost a perfect mirror of the community at large. There are thousands of differentiating viewpoints on pretty much any topic related to Free Software (including if we should call it Free Software).

The group of people working on desktop at RH are quite small, it's not the cabal you seem to imply.

We're trying to build a modern operating system where the components are part of a whole. I'm sorry you feel that is some sort of trap. That is not the intention, in any way.

I see a whole forming, but i see no parts.
