Most what-if horror cases advanced in this thread already occurred, and the distribution was not subverted, the project primary language didn't change, in fact it was all so little invasive it wasn't noticed at all. So I don't follow you. The evidence seems to be we cope with UTF-8 & non-English pretty well. >> > A policy can be revisited/refined, because non-ASCII glyphs in >> file >> > names >> > are a problem in a default setup that doesn't display them >> correctly >> > and >> > that requires extra efforts to enter them. >> >> These are bugs to be fixed. > > So, the system is not ready yet, which is a blocker criterion as I > pointed out before. The system is never ready. This is IT.

So? We ship a lot of stuff developped before Fedora existed. And not only in historic packages. And I've not such an inflated view of Fedora to believe Fedora existing or not would have changed the slightest bit in the situation. -- Nicolas Mailhot -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
