I mean, the common reason given to NOT provide GNOME update packages usually is the ammount of system files or interactions that GNOME has, I wonder if KDE does not have such issues, wouldn't it then be a problem with GNOME's design, then? I totally LOVE GNOME and use it over KDE, but certainly I can't understand Red Hat and Fedora stand on it. I mean, RHEL 4 users will not be able to use a newer GNOME other than 2.6 (or was it 2.8?) until RHEL 5 with GNOME 2.1x. I don't mean to rant over this, is just that I don't seem to fully understand why it is not made that way... Has KDE already moved into Extras? Because in that should free up some hands to improve on GNOME (or am I getting this totally wrong?). Sorry if my comments don't make any sense to anyone but me. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFD3vxFXM+XOp70dwoRAn7HAJ4r+7KBGWcwc8GC3bflshY2rc6SwACeI8tj DirGyrsU/z9dS9FVPjf6amQ= =eTVz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
