Why? I think it's appropriate to dump Fedora because of this, because Fedora has made Gnome 3 it's default desktop and because Fedora is actively promoting it. >> Do you know that even on Gnome 3 Shell devs (and users) list people admit that >> they possibly boxed themselves into a corner and now are not willing or able >> to reverse the course where things went wrong ? >> >> It is a Fedora problem, and it will be a Red Hat problem in due time ! > > Red Hat is fortunate that they can wait and see, and if necessary > evaluate the cost/benefit and if necessary allocate resources to the > issue. Well, as others already said, the current Fedora 15 desktop is unusable to many people. "Kool smartphone kiz" and newcomers may like it, as I feel it's unusable for "business class use-cases" due to its GUI-design. > Fedora, as a volunteeer effort, cannot. It's worse. I fear Fedora will loose contributors, because Fedora is not shipping the DE these users want. -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
