He didn't say otherwise, Josh. He *complimented* the developers, which I
tend to think is a great attitude. :) 
Installation issues - particularly with this problem - are not an
unusual complaint in the least - it's a pain to install, plain and
simple. The dependencies ought to be bundled together to make this a
one, two, three process. If it's the case that LibLime doesn't want to
make for an easy installation for financial interests, that's fine. But
Fedora is not a strange distro in the least, nor is the complaint that
it's too hard to install far afield.
