One group wants us to aim for mom/pop/grandma/desktop users - the apple market or what ubuntu aims for. 2. one group wants us to aim exclusively for the bleeding edge open source developer market. 3. one group wants us to aim for the admin/experienced user who wants newer things but doesn't have time nor interest to fight with lots of broken things. What is being discussed, imo, is not which of these groups represents our current users but which of these groups are we interested in serving and which set of policies and rules will help us serve them best. -sv -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
