FYI, code-of-conduct warning (please try harder to assume good intentions
from all those involved).

And word of advice: if you're trying to appeal to someone to change minds,
name-calling usually doesn't work all that well.

Sincere apologies upfront if I offended anyone. I have nothing but huge respect for KDE and Fedora KDE-SIG people, especially Rex & Mr. Kofler.

As Ed pointed out, I called the "decision" stupid and not the people involved. The upstream people who made this decision are in no way stupid, but definitely a bit arrogant, in my opinion. With these kind of design decisions shoved down the users' throats, they are approaching the GNOME culture.

I would still urge Fedora-SIG to rethink on this. Please let your users make these decisions. I'd understand if the application presents a warning when run as root. But simply exiting the application (without even telling the user why!) is indeed "not-very-smart" in my books.


Thanks,

Syam
