No conspiracy theory needed. Yes, it is useless for anything beyond most basic configuration, which works without any configuration tools most of the time. And for some (many) users it is unable to setup internet connection at all. I don't remember posting any conspiracy theories here, but I don't understand why Fedora maintainers decide to replace functional software by software that lacks many essential features or even replace existing software by "yet to be written" (like gdmsetup, which remains to be written since F9). May be instead of rushing to release Gnome 3 before it can provide not only nice-looking, but also functional DE, they could stop, catch their breath and complete all these missing features. -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
