Full stop. It is not possible. The users, and the distributions, have a lot more say in it. I'm not talking about user experience of a released program. There's no question that its not possible to control this. I'm talking about the user experience of a not-yet alpha-released program. There's probably no question that its possible to control this either, but the fact that its possible for the concept to even exist is a function of the fact that we've developed ardour3 "in the open" rather than keeping it hidden until we think its ready for public evaluation. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
