I never said that we wouldn't lose users over the switch. You'll _ALWAYS_ have people who will jump ship if you rock the boat even a little. What I said is that Fedora 15 does not LOCK THEM OUT of using Fedora. They can 1) use their old video hardware with Gnome 3 (and let it fall back to working like Gnome 2), they can 2) use a similar desktop (Xfce) and still use all of the same apps or 3) they can upgrade their video hardware to something minimally more recent than what they have (since Gnome 3 will work with hardware produced within the last 4 years or so). <snip> > and yes i am one of the geeks playing often with their system, but on invasive changes > even for me is the fun really fast over! For someone that conservative about their desktop I don't image they would be taking on an upgrade like this since it _does_ change some fundamentals. It's equally (or even moreso) unreasonable to expect everybody to be held back on innovation by those few who can't (or won't) upgrade. -- Darryl L. Pierce, Sr. Software Engineer @ Red Hat, Inc.
