He was making a "freedom" argument. He wasn't arguing "adoption rate". It would help if you made an effort to keep the arguments other people are making compartmentalized from your own thoughts. I'd suggest using tomboy and making notes as to how the discussion is organized. If you want to keep plugging away at the adoption rate argument mantra... be my guest. I've no agenda as to achievable adoption rates...since we have no adoption metrics for any release of fedora to inform decision making. It is in fact quite silly to be making adoption rate arguments for any feature decision because such decisions can't actually be tested to see how they impact adoption rates. But hey don't let silly thinks like metrics keep you from feeling this is the most important thing for you to spend time on. -jef"that's right ntfs is absolutely not something non-technical users will desire as an enhancement, since the most assuredly don't have a pre-existing ntfs partiion..which is holding the wma media that they want to play.
