Who is going to take the decision to divert from upstream code in Debian ? A company can decide to make some structural changes and branding but I think that Debian (and Gentoo, Slackware, ...) should not take such decisions but rather respect the upstream code and provide a stock gnome. If we don't do this we will end in an endless situation: Why not respection upstream choices ? Why not picking the Ximian changes instead of the ubuntu ones ? Why not the Redhat ones ? ... > I thought Jeff had talked about this. It has been a while though, maybe > I misunderstood or matters have changed since. I don't know, but I'm not sure than upstreams are interested with these changes, that need to be discussed with them. Cheers, Sebastien Bacher
