Let's maybe try to look at this from another perspective: - tap to click is one of the features of a device class named touchpad, right? - we are now setting this feature to *OFF* by default, right? OK, so, are there any other devices, where we are turning off *some* or *all* of their features by default? If the answer is NO - then tap to click should be also set to ON by default. If the answer is YES - then we can try to think: 1. what are the reasons of having some features disabled by default? 2. does this particular feature match here? This could help avoiding such controversies in the future. regards, -- Jarosław Górny RHCE: 805008212834187 -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
