For advocacy reasons I could no longer brag about how Fedora always has the latest upstream KDE. I could no longer tell people Fedora was the best KDE distro either. I'm not trolling, these are valid things I bring up when I try to talk people into trying Fedora who might have been using Mandriva, Kubuntu or openSUSE. Specifically i'm looking at the one example: "Abiword releases a new version that adds compatibility with WordStar 4.0 documents. It also completely updates the user interface to use pie menus. This would be a feature enhancement with a major user experience change, and would not be allowed." rewrite it for a standard kde update KDE releases a new version (4.6) that adds OpenGL compositing. It also completely updates the user interface to change the way the notification area works. This would be a feature enhancement with a major user experience change, and would not be allowed. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
