-1 - I think Matthias covers the basic reasoning well at: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/desktop/2014-October/011032.html Beyond that: the vast majority of applications available for Fedora will not be installed by default - it's not much of a carrot to tell an upstream application author that they need to conform the basedir standard to be included by default, when they *won't* be installed by default. If we want Firefox to conform to the basedir spec we need to try to achieve that by communication and possibly providing help with it - not by policy. - Owen ----- Original Message ----- > Hi > > This is request for the WG members to vote on requiring all defaults > apps/components in the workstation installation be compliant with the xdg > base dir spec. > > Rationale: > > This is more or less the current status already with very few but high > profile components including Firefox and NSS.
