This sounds acceptable but is not at all how these changes are proposed. An proposal is made, stating explicity that it will be opt-in or target a subset of the target audience and never even suggesting that the scope might one day be expanded. It is accepted based on that premise and, after a while, changes are made to make the change default or opt-out, leaving the people who would not have accepted it had they known they would be forced to use it with no recourse. This is unfriendly (thus violating one of Fedora's core principles) at best and deceitful at worst. > The alternative would be to have "grand plans" where we decide that > some technology will be used by default and mandatory before we deploy > it widely and get feedback. Another alternative would be not lie to the target audience by initially claiming that the change is opt-in. Yet another alternative would be to not go back on this claim. > I think that if you think this through, you'll realize that the > "salami tactic" is quite reasonable. I don't but wish to thank you for the condescending tone nonetheless.
