That is one way to phrase it. But really, the first is not just a 'marked', it is everybody. Who wouldn't want a system that works without much of a hassle and lets me do what I want to do without requiring constant attention to breakage and changes ? And if you don't have anything to offer to the first group, the second group is going to loose interest too. Why would somebody want to develop software on a system that has no users ? If the users are all using other OSes, then it only makes sense to develop the software on those OSes. I cannot imagine anybody wanting to develop apps on or for Fedora in its current state. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
