The council hasn't said anything yet, since we haven't asked them.

We really want to make it possible to have search in the application installer tell you how to get the things you are searching for, with appropriate advice on why you may not want to after all. So, we need to convince the council to take a different position than the board has in the past. -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
