I don't see a compelling reason to prefer Adobe's proprietary implementation over an open source solution.. even if the open source solution isn't as capable as adobe's proprietary code. Though I'm not really sure what you're complaining about, I think firefox still attempts to get Adobe's plugin if it detects that its needed, or have you been ignoring Valent's complaints about that being broken in rawhide? This is thread is covering too many topics and people are straining the bounds of logic by comparing the different situations with regard to where the line is drawn with regard to code versus content. I'm prepared to participate in a review of codeina on its merits, but I'm not going to waste any more time in reading opinions that hold up codeina as a precedent setter for other things to do. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
