Now why didn't the release notes specifically *say* that gthumb performs all the functions of the old gtkam? (Does gthumb have a plug-in for gimp?) Which goes to the serious, and so far not-addressed, issue of documentation. *Where are the documents* showing quite clearly all the functions of the packages that distribute with Fedora? How are we supposed to know that a retained package subsumes the functions of another if nobody tells us? Think of how many people, not readers of any of these lists, went out and grabbed gtkam after installing FC3 or one of its RC's and *didn't have to*! (That might not seem important at first, but think of the conflicts you set up if you run two apps at once that each address the same device...!) And when will *apt* distribute with Fedora? The best package manager ever invented, the best solution to the RPM dependency problem I've ever seen, works like a charm with Fedora, and it's not in the core distro? Something's wrong here.
