I don't think it's sufficient just list where the *download* comes from, though, because I can download official Fedora content from, many places (mit.edu, kernel.org, etc.), and it's not clear that I'm downloading non-Fedora code just because it's downloading from extensions.gnome.org. I think there's room for incremental improvements to make this better. I'm *really* not trying to be difficult. I just want to make sure that users are aware of the choice they're making and know where to get help when they have problems. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
