Off-topic but, speaking from someone who grew up in the libre software "purist" circles, I'm a big fan of the CrOS model here. Draconian is when the user _can't_ put it in dev mode. If you can, there's nothing wrong with sane defaults _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
