Well, as it happens, the entire decision chain in this particular case involved Fedora developers; the NetworkManager and GNOME Shell developers involved are all Fedora developers too. It was the same people who package these apps for Fedora who decided to make the big changes upstream, and to pull those big changes downstream into Fedora while they were not yet entirely complete. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
