If we voted on everything, like a direct democracy, Fedora would indeed never get any where - The various people' varying ideas of how things work best would cause a massive amount of redesigning and reimplementation with every complaint and vote. What's next we vote on desktop of choice, well what's to say that the people who vote are even representative of our users. Most people don't even care if they are running Fedora, they just want a desktop that works, must less would they care enough to vote on every single aspect of things. This is not ancient greece, some of us do have better things to do than govern the distro. Think of the community counsel and the Red Hat engineers as representatives working to the best interest of the majority - the community are still welcome to provide input in cases of strong disagreement but in the interest of getting things done - try to trust people with education and experience suitable for this kind of development once in a while. Bogging the project down with endless votes is in nobody' best interest, even if case of disagreement - remember in by far most cases change is for the better and in the case of this one there is even functionality retained to do highly specialisted installs for those who need it. I try to look at this practically, I would rather have the distro move forward even if I disagree with the decision making sometimes - most of the times I end up realising I was wrong once I try out the change in real life anyways. It's still free software, I can just hack it myself if I want to to revert the change. - David -- Obligatory shameless blog plug - The GNOME commentary located at www.lovesunix.net/blog -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
