[snip] I don't agree with the suggestions here to restrict it, but I think the implications here sucks. Is it better to have a world where 90% is Fedora but every user has less freedom over their data and applications than they would in windows because they are only using Fedora as a really excellent remote terminal to web applications which give them no control over their data or the programs that they use? Disallowing compatibility with the world doesn't fix it but neither does ignoring the significant problems posed by non-free web applications and the enormous influence they will have over the fedora experience in the coming decades. Or in other words— for those who care about freedom making Fedora a first class platform for web apps is mostly just rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic— we're screwed either way. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
