What does that mean? Has Linux stopped being a multiuser system?
No, it hasn't. But Fedora is targeted at the desktop user. And your continuous efforts at stopping any sort of progress for the *common* case is truly frustrating.
I've used Linux on all my desktops for 12+ years. Never have I found the root notifications useful in that case. And even if they would have been, you seem to have no idea what a non-technical person would make of them. I'll tell you: nothing.
On the other hand, boot speed is a perceived problem by most users, technical or not. Back in '98 when I tried to install Linux for my dad, the 1st question was: but does it start fast?
