Please understand that I'm not trying to be combative here, but... How is a user supposed to know: 1. gnome-shell == GNOME 3? 2. gnome-shell is available in F14? I don't remember it being mentioned in the release notes or any list of features. 3. gnome-shell will irreversibly replace what the user is familiar with in the next release? So, now having discovered all of the above, the user can install F14 and gnome-shell, try it there and provide feedback on that version? Better to change the default system and keep the old system available for a release cycle, rather than provide a virtually unadvertised preview version up to the point that it becomes the default and the old system is no longer an option. -Alan -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
