I think fate is great. I know the line is often blurry, but there
should be a distinction between features and bugs. Using openFATE is
actually pretty cool, and since features are the interesting part it
tends to even be fun looking around.

On the downside, fate isn't completely ready and missing a few
features (See: https://features.opensuse.org/302963 .. login required

to address this and other issues that come up, I think it'd be awesome
=)

+1 for fate
