Of course apps shouldn't need to implement every single pattern, but they should implement at least the basics. An application menu is the bare minimums for your app to feel well-integrated in Fedora Workstation. The desktop environment provides the menu, and a little arrow indicating that there are menu items, and the only menu item is Quit? We should not consider that to be acceptable for default apps, anymore. > Regarding "installing extensions", I assume you mean stuff like > HTitle and the GNOME Theme... well, I'm not sure HTitle will continue > to be supported once firefox moves to its new addon API... as we > discussed in the past in this mailing list, we don't want to be > installing any addons by default unless we can grantee they'll be > supported for as long as our release is supported - if Firefox > updates and breaks one of them, reverting the user to "normal" > Firefox would be a bad experience. > > My previous comment about the HIG applies here too. We would also need to never update Firefox until after the theme has first been updated. Regarding HTitle: we can do it as a patch instead of an extension (you're right; HTitle probably won't be possible as a WebExtension). Or just not implement that at all. The theme and app menu are the most important parts. If we don't want to theme Firefox properly... Epiphany works great for me. :) > The problem is I don't think it's wise to enable SELinux by default > without having any UI to let the user know when a violation happens. > And we do want to keep SELinux enabled. I do want to keep SELinux enabled. I don't think users need to know when a violation happens. That's just a bug, and I don't see any reason to treat SELinux bugs as more special or more horrible than other bugs. But frankly, I don't remember the last time I've had an SELinux violation. totem-video-thumbnailer gets blocked from accessing the Internet whenever I view my web cache in nautilus, but that's a real bug in totem. And an example of one that users don't need to know about. > I think we can replace it with GNOME Photos today. Is there any > reason not to?

Debarshi doesn't want to include Photos until it matures further. Regarding the TLS issue: consider that it currently depends on obsolete WebKit, which means it has no security updates. That's an even more ser ious issue. And modern WebKit handles this automatically, so it will be fixed once they upgrade.
