ÂOr make us better than anyone else? You obviously want to re-read what he wrote, except you really can't see the part with the competition and better (not saying that i think we compete with Apple or Microsoft). BTW, speaking of "possibility disruptive changes", you don't want to send out any update then, since it *can* be "possibility disruptive changes". Plus, you will find enough non-KDE updates disruptive in the past (past as in before right now). Maybe it fits here best as well, please keep rhetoric stuff like that, because he has some points. -- Best regards Thomas -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
