The problem is not minimalism. The problem is conflating two concepts: being able to process a language (fonts, input methods, spellcheckers) and being able to switch UI to this language. The two things should be managed by separate metapackages set, with (at most) a weak dep from UI to process, and never from process to UI. Much like our font package guidelines were carefully crafted a decade ago to identify a functional font family unit (the thorough font landscape analysis Microsoft wrote for WPF helped defined that unit), forbidding the kind of app or font referse dep that results in everything depending on everything else. And people have started ignoring those guidelines, with the predicted resulting mess, that is entirely self-inflicted. -- Nicolas Mailhot _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
