Sure, if he wants to? But I'll note that as far as I know, upstream plans to remove this in the upcoming gnome cycle, so you would need to re-add it back and maintain it. Additionally, IMHO, this would only be very useful for X11 gnome sessions, which... will increasingly be difficult I suspect. If you aren't using gnome and want X11 sessions, you should have switched to another display manager long ago. When gdm switched to being a gnome session in the greeter...

Just like Xfce does... You're welcome to keep using X11 as long as folks are maintaining the things you need, but if upstreams have made a technical decision to no longer maintain something, your choices are to convince them to keep it (I think we are long past that with X), fork things you need and maintain them yourself, or move on. I agree this could have been a change to raise awareness. I'll note this change was made in september of last year in rawhide from what I can see. kevin -- _______________________________________________ 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 Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
