Yes, it's great that Linux allows people to create multiple ways of painting a shed, but that doesn't mean it is always a good thing. OSS is not unique in providing multiple of a XYZ app. Commercial software has always provided multiple of XYZ apps and has that been a good thing? For instance: I'm sure you can find multiple music players for Android phones in the Google store, but does that mean it is a good thing? There comes a time when a software developer needs to swallow their pride and work together with another human being to create a better software instead of forking. It is rare for a fork to succeed and usually, only succeeds if upstream dies/is dying so in other words the fork becomes the new upstream and you don't really see it as a fork any more. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
