Let's also add the morality is the prime excuse for censorship in many countries. I can't count the amount of clearly censor-grade legislation has passed recently in just the western hemisphere with just the *excuse* of "defending children"* where in some cases stuff related to children was not even named in the text of the law, or if it were it was clearly preposterous and only there to justify the whole set of rules. Let alone countless other moral or religious precepts. That said, if there are clearly identifiable class of programs that may be deemed offensive by a large set of people (and *not* governments), then it would be sensible to mark them so that people can consciously and *individually* decide to (not) install/remove them or use spins that explicitly exclude/include them. Simo. * Of course I am all for defending children, but totally against using a highly sensible topic to shove in legislation that has nothing to do with protection them and all to do with censorship and control. -- Simo Sorce * Red Hat, Inc * New York -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
