It wouldn't really be playing wordsmith, the application installer (or whatever it's called) is talked about in terms of advertising applications, it seems to be part of it's philosophy (though the word 'promote' has been more common). If it's just a case of Fedora wants to control what advertising goes on in Fedora then that's not that much different from Canonical or iTunes. If it's about third parties tracking users I think that's a different and stronger argument about privacy. -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
