Quite agreed. I don't think you will find many resistant to change. What you will find, is people resistant to doing things just how other people would like it "just because". You have to have a really convincing argument or be willing to make the change yourself. Of course, that is not idea, but it does seem to be the reality of the situation. I mean (as an example) I would like to see Fedora shift focus to Qt and KDE, but that isn't going to happen, not because there are rules against, just because there is no one to push the work necessary for that, and I am not yet capable of it myself. >> I have no problem with this.

That is quite unfortunate, and I don't have a simple suggestion to this myself. The only real suggestion I have is to build a better infrastructure around testing and testers. Build a more efficient way to get stuff tested before it hits the stable repos. >> I actually quite like it. > Well, my hope is, Fedora 10, like it's predecessors, will reach a > "usable" shape several weeks/months after its initial releases. > > ATM, the sad truth is, I would have to lie when recommending Fedora 10 > to anybody. > > Ralf > > > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list > Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines > -- Fedora 9 : sulphur is good for the skin ( www.pembo13.com ) -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
