Look, I like a good argument as much as anyone else, but this is
ludicrous. Are you just replying to me for the sake of scoring a point?
Or are you seriously suggesting that a sensible direction for Fedora is
to consider the requirements of nine year old hardware and attempt to
adjust our software to match? Is this really what you would like us to
do, or are you just compulsively contradicting whatever you can? Because
I'm not interested in a back and forth point scoring match.
