What happens when we put your stuff on the DVD? next the sugar guys say "hey! LXDE is on there!" Then Kde, etc, etc. It doesn't work like that and I know that makes it harder on you but that's just how it is. We have to think about our decisions beyond just what is in front of us. That's why when we upgraded our primary mirrors we didn't say "well, lets make sure we have enough room for LXDE". We have to think bigger then that. -Mike _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
