Which is exactly why I don't think we want to implement poorly thought out branding, or not look into the existing branding to see how well it integrates in our goals of being recognisable as Fedora, with or without branding. Then again, I think this is our goals, but they were never explicitly defined, and we would gain a lot in this discussion by defining them before making decisions to accomplish them. > That's > not useful.

Important doesn't mean necessary, or thought out. _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
