Freedom != Choice dialogs for everything. Our users have the freedom to install whatever desktop they like. And where do you draw the line? Select browser? Select texteditor? Select calculator?

Those who want to select something different have the freedom to do so. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
