Similarly to how there are forks of GNOME now to 'keep the GNOME 2 candle burning,' there were forks of GNOME 1.x to 'keep the GNOME 1 candle burning.' Do you remember what they were called? I didn't; I had to look 'em up. Do you ever wonder what happened to them? Dead projects nobody seems to remember. Do we really want to switch to a desktop that history has shown is likely to become a dead project in a few years? http://osdir.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=1295 It also doesn't seem smart to switch from a desktop on the basis that Linus Torvalds and Alan Cox - kernel developers, not UI experts or even typical desktop users by any means - don't like it. I think switching the desktop that has been our default for over 10 years and 18 releases requires just a bit more research and reason than that. ~m -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
