But we don't have to decide it ;-) > If a bunch of work went into gimp-print and > improved things greatly, sure that'd be an easy update. This is different. It is different, but not a reasons to leave users out in the cold without drivers for another half year (yes, having those drivers in Extras is better then nothing, but not enough IMHO). And gutenprint is just one example: I have some Mainboards with Intel G965 chipset at hand atm. Intel provides a linux driver, but it requires Xorg 7.1, which itself includes a proper driver. I would do the same noise about updating Xorg 7.0 to 7.1 in FC5 now that the ati/nvidia problem is solved if FC6 wouldn't ship soon.
