Fedora has not made Gnome 3 its default (this implies that Fedora has somehow actively evaluated Gnome 3 and decided that it is the best, which hasn't happened). What has been true since Fedora began, and is still true is that Fedora uses Gnome as its default, and ships each release with whatever the current version of Gnome is. >> Fedora, as a volunteeer effort, cannot. >It's worse.

If this happens, then it also means Gnome will lose contributors, and the Gnome project will need to make an evaluation on what they with to do. But despite all the controversy, there is the possibility that the users of Fedora will merely shrug their shoulders and suffer with, or even like the new desktop. But there is little Fedora itself can do. All that matters is that Fedora does not have the resources to fork Gnome. -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
