Stop doing that. OK, I'll leave off the smiley: I cannot for the life of me imagine any train of logic that could lead to the overall design of packagekit without assuming they were deliberately attempting to make it as bad as they possibly could. And, in fact, they may have been. There seems to be a large and dangerous group of developers out there who base their designs on some imaginary "average user" they seem to think has an IQ of about 4. This is a lot like the Hollywood executives churning out formula movies for their imaginary IQ 4 viewers. Contrast that with Pixar where they makes movies they'd like to watch themselves. Much more successful, much better movies. The developers out there who give users no credit for brains would be better off designing software they actually want to use themselves, they might find others want to use it as well. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
