The function of a distribution is essentially to take away certain decisions from users in the interests of simplifying their experience. If you want ultimate choice, you build your system from scratch. Distributions take away the pain involved in that by doing lots of the work for you, which inevitably involves making choices about how those things are done, which inevitably means removing the ability for the users to choose how those things are done, which is indeed 'dictat[ing] what they can or can not do'. That's our entire function. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
