Discussed at the meeting today, and we definitely want this to work, and appreciate the bug report. We expect we'll be able to get it fixed for release. However, there's reluctance to broaden the scope of the criteria because our influence has limits, including the infrastructure aspects of extensions that we can't control (such as the web site itself). So we'd like to see this covered under existing criterion. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
