The default configuration should follow upstream choices as much as possible. If alternative choices are useful for a significant population of Fedora users, these should be bundled into a "Fedora theme" package which interested users may install should they prefer a distinctive (i.e. different from upstream defaults) Fedora "look and feel". A Fedora theme package might contain a collection of parameter values different from default settings, plus dependencies that load additional packages to provide enhanced function. One advantage of this theme package approach: it defines what a Fedora theme means (at a specific point in time; it does not define an objective or design goal), and provides a structure in which this theme can be maintained through upstream changes, then propagated into future Fedora releases. It is likely there will be no consensus on exactly what changes to default values, or enhancements, are best. Multiple themes are possible. The theme package concept provides a capability to satisfy incompatible user preferences, while individuals endeavor to persuade upstream developers how to improve their designs. -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
