The problem with your argument is that it can go with both directions. We can have it enabled by default and in case the user is annoyed by it he/she can turn it off. I don't think that continuing this discussion makes much sense. There are people who want/like it and there are some who do not ... unless we can detect that (i.e read the users mind) we cannot find a solution that works for everybody. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
