I plan to give feedback through fc5 regardless of how this gnome release scheduling issue shakes out. So its probably technically incorrect to say "no feedback." Potentially "less feedback". People use nrpms and ubuntu now for a variety of reasons, I'm not sure much is going to change in that regard. I somewhat doubt the implication that all or most or even a sizable group of users are going to jump off of Core provided binaries because of this. The lack of a gnome 2.12 any any fedora release is a noteworthy concern, but until we hear from the maintainers as to their plans on how to handle it. I'm not sure its worth the effort to engage in protracted back and forth over options from the sidelines and certaintly not worth it with regard to a marketting or informational focus. So i encourage you to talk to the people responsible for getting the fedora desktop stuff out and ask them how they plan to handle gnome 2.12, I'm not sure any of them actually sit on this list. -jef -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
