Remember why we went with Evolution in the first place. It was Havoc's idea about the Open Source Architecture, and selecting one application instead of a gazillion of different ones. Implicit in this choice was the promise to fix it. Maybe explicit even, I do not remember. Now the upstream stewardhip, maintainership, or whatever seems to be collapsing and those frustrated with Evo try to jump ship, but to where? It sure as hell ain't Sylpheed. Maybe primates just need a good fork in the liver and Evo gets viable again. I hope at least. Anyway, talk to Havoc first, ask him if he planned for this eventuality. Funnily, in the same time period, we very nearly selected some obscure web browser instead of Firefox. It may be instructive to compare the cases with the Evo. -- Pete -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
