It was. If you read the timestamps on the blog posts and design stuff we keep trying to persuade you to read, you will note that newUI has been under development for at least two years. I'm really getting tired of people trying to debate this based on complete misunderstanding of what are very simple facts. As several people have pointed out, your actions in this thread seem completely at odds with the proverb you quote in your sig. You do not appear to be making any effort at all to understand newUI or the design process it involved, nor are you making much of an effort to deploy pleasant words in an attempt to persuade. Several anaconda developers have told me that posts like yours are the reason they don't read this list themselves, and I and others have to act as messengers to try and filter out the unnecessary negativity and try to convey any nugget of practical data these kinds of messages contain. It's not something we have a lot of _fun_ doing. Throwing out ridiculous suggestions like 'cobble together a new foundation system for the F17 UI' really isn't doing much to help anyone achieve anything. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
