No, to be really fair - there was/is indeed an option here - namely to use or not to use the new gnome-shell .. so indeed Fedora does have a choice here ... and while that choice was Gnome Shell for F15, such a choice should be debated and decided for F16 or F17 and we should not stubbornly stick with Gnome shell while blaming upstream for all things poopy. :-) and simultaneously taking credit for 'leading the pack' with wonderful new things. It may turn out to be wonderful and beneficial, but the votes are not in yet - its too early, in spite of bad taste from test users. As someone earlier said, time will tell. But lets make this discussion making Fedora better - whether it means keeping/improving Gnome shell - or, frankly, even if it means dumping it and changing DE's - and no I don't mean tell people to leave and go build their own distro - I mean make Fedora better - isn't that what we want here ? gene/ -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
