In fact, I think it's worse in every possible respect. > Case C: - User(s) find somethiing they dislike about Fedora's Gnoem desktop - User complains to fedora-devel-list/fedora-list/bugzilla.redhat.com/... - Fedora maintainer sees many many complaints about feature and takes issue upstream or to application developer. (maintainer != developer in some (most?) cases) - Fedora maintainer or developer act as aggregate voice of userbase to Gnome and pushes to get feature corrected upstream. - As last resort Fedora maintainer creates patch or takes stance and provides quantitave reasoning as to why they are sticking w/ feature that lots dislike End result? Community and target users do see that maintainers care and listen and try for the end user's best interest. -- Jesse Keating RHCE (http://geek.j2solutions.net) Fedora Legacy Team (http://www.fedoralegacy.org) GPG Public Key (http://geek.j2solutions.net/jkeating.j2solutions.pub) Was I helpful?
