It's against the goals of Fedora. The only thing worse than beating a dead horse is trying to ride it. > > I conclude that most of this list doesn't think *any* class of users is > interesting. We like the ones that read the archives, present an opinion, debate it, and realize at the end of the day some things aren't going to go they way they want them and some are. We especially like the ones that present patches to fix things they find broken. > > That's not an attitude that bodes well for the future. Fedora is a community project. If the majority of the community isn't griping about something, I doubt a few here and there will make a difference. If someone wants to sit there and bitch about things and expect someone else to go fix them all the time, they can kindly move the fuck on. Now, if they want to actually contribute, that is the attitude we want. And that is a great attitude for the future of Fedora. josh -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
