No, I never expected to get the same amount of resources than the default spin, because this would be a preferential treatment of the Xfce or LXDE users compared to the large majority of our users. But I do expect to get at least *some* resources and some support for the things I work on. Instead I feel like the spins are treated as Fedora's unloved stepchildren. > If I go to a Honda dealer in order to buy a Chevy I saw an ad for in > the paper, I do go with the full understanding that they're a Honda > dealership and don't argue with the dealer that he should have that used > Cobalt in red, blue, and silver as well as black. This is a (rather) lopsided comparison. The Honda dealer exclusively advertises Honda and no Chevys. The Honda dealer is a Honda dealer because he signed an exclusive contract with Honda. Honda dealer has "Honda" in his name. Are we called "Gnomedora"? Have we signed a contract with Gnome? Do we advertise Gnome exclusively?
