I think you've probably missed a lot of context here, and I can easily see how you might draw this conclusion not having been aware of it. For a quick summary, the Fedora Board stated a requirement of providing one download for new Fedora users on get.fedoraproject.org, so we can avoid overwhelming them with choices. As the designer assigned to help meet that requirement, I strongly agree with it, and a design has been proposed and already set into motion over the past 3 months or so. These designs were posted on the Fedora wiki, Planet Fedora, and many various Fedora mailing lists including the websites list, spins list, logistics list, advisory board list, and I believe the design-team list too. All of the spin maintainers have well aware of these designs for some time now, and after some lengthy discussion even the KDE SIG is willing to give the new design a try to see how it performs. If you would like specific references to any of these previous discussions, please email me privately and I will be more than happy to provide you URLs. If you have concerns with that decision, the proper way to express that concern is to address the Board directly, since they set the requirement. This list just isn't the right place, and right now we're on a tight deadline so we need to stay focused on making a decision here so I can meet my deliverables, which the websites team is depending on. I really appreciate your understanding on this! :) ~m -- Fedora-desktop-list mailing list Fedora-desktop-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list
