All the other terminology didn't play well either: "enables": this was second place, but what does that mean? We do specific hardware enablement? No, we don't. "powers": Also jargon-y and weird "turns on": Archaic, technically incorrect, and has awkward double meaning "boots": technically accurate, but very limiting in terms of the platform Fedora is aiming to provide "drives, facilitates, switches on, is the core of": all pretty vague Please provide alternatives rather than just say it is jargon-y. Also, I don't want to bikeshed this mission to death word-for-word. Perfect is the enemy of good. If "enables" is what everyone feels is best, great. josh _______________________________________________ council-discuss mailing list -- council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to council-discuss-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
