If joining a Fedora list is required, is there anyone who already is a 
member who could post on my behalf?

An enthusiast distribution is what is being used to develop a 
production, stable, enterprise installation and certification interface? 
  I understand that the enthusiasts can help with the debugging issues, 
testing new hardware platforms -- much as MS Windows "production" users 
discover the bugs in MS Windows -- but this sort of issue should require 
a proper "enterprise" interface.
