So, that bit about KDE not holding Gnome back wasn't entirely > correct? I think you mean "holding back Fedora." Obviously KDE is not holding back GNOME, or GNOME's development, or the GNOME Desktop Team from doing their work. Fedora's deployment of that work, however, is another matter. Does Fedora offer a variety of environments with a set of common features and infrastructure, or is it one functional desktop and one "use at your own risk" desktop? True question. I enjoy the new features in Fedora, like Bluetooth, PackageKit, and even Pulse occasionally. And I really like KDE, but I have cold shivers thinking that whether or not any of this stuff works under KDE is a crapshoot. KDE may not hold back GNOME. But it is perfectly logical to expect that KDE will hold back a Fedora feature release, if indeed A) that feature is not yet implemented in the desktop, and B) Fedora wishes to support KDE and GNOME together. Assuming that KDE features are given the same respect as GNOME features. If that doesn't hold, then no, KDE won't be holding back anybody. I suppose I'd be using KDE a little less under Fedora then. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
