I personally feel that removing mpg321 or crippling its functionality in Legacy is not much of a loss, since the majority of Legacy users are servers. Maybe some businesses use Legacy for workstations, but think of a broken MP3 decoder as productivity gain? =)

I have some problems with this attitude.
Why?
First, because many of our systems are NOT servers. We have a very high percentage of experimentors that are running 7.3 on desktops.
Second, once you start walking down that path of 'servers only' then anything is fair game. KDE will go out, alot of gnome too, shoot, eventually X since you don't really need X for web or mail servers.


Now, if we have license issues, that's fine. I'll just find and/or make the patches elsewhere. Though it would be good to have a list somewhere that says which one's we can't do because of this problem.
If we also don't feel the security problem is bad enough to warrent the time it takes, I have no problem there either.


I just don't wnat to see Fedora-legacy be for 'servers only'

Thanks
Troy
