Strong feelings and fifty cents will buy you a cup of coffee. ;) What we can block releases on is not a question of what anyone 'strongly feels' but what we have the resources to commit to. Xfce and MATE are both mostly maintained by a single person and we don't have the extent of upstream links we have with GNOME and KDE. We also do not have the QA resources to commit to timely testing of four desktop environments. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
