In addition to what Alessandro listed, they also have made very clear they'll reject code patches that support, perpetuate, or restore configurability items they wish to vanish. One can agree or disagree about their judgements on 'simplifying' but mass-removing configurability (I don't think much of it, myself), but (as you say) I find the implication of bring about significantly greater participation suspect, not to mention self-serving. Happily, everyone gets to be happy. The GNOME3 devs and those who like them can have what, as Mr. Lincoln said, is 'the sort of thing that will be enjoyed by those who enjoy that sort of thing.' Everyone else can be happy with the large and prospering set of non-GNOME3 choices. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
