I am judging from my first hand experience: mine, and the folks that I know. I know, my experience is totally irrelevant, as is the opinion of many users on /. or osnews. But there's little point in arguing this, if you think the way this sort of change was made is cool, let's just agree to disagree. > 2. it's not about forcing preferences it is about making sure the code > is maintainable and not riddled with exceptions for corner cases and > optional menus and ridiculous configuration dialogs. This is such a geeky argument... People are complaining about a menu removal, and somehow we're talking about code maintainability. Maybe this sort of argument works on newbies, but please! I've been in the business all my life to know that: 1. One has nothing to do with the other. If having the menu there is part of the requirements, you code accordingly. 2. If having _one_ menu there screws up the code beyond repair, removing it will not help you any since the folks writing it have no clue to begin with. And shutting people up every time they complain that this is fedora-devel, and not some upstream list is also bad policy IMO: at the end of the day, people use Fedora Core, and they'll judge the overall result, with little thought of where bad decisions come from. This is a good forum to discuss these problems, if not we might as well close down the list. -- Dimi Paun <dimi@xxxxxxxxxxx> Lattica, Inc. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
