Maybe instead of just steadfastly asserting there should be no Change, you could work _with_ people as they try to include Change to address specific needs that aren't being met. Successful distros are evolutionary projects. There is no "done" or "final state" with them. That doesn't mean they rip out the core concepts and start over, but it does mean they adapt to new usecases and challenges as they come up. josh -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
