"I now introduce Measham’s Law:

As an online discussion regarding the features of a piece of open source
software grows longer, the probability of someone saying “It’s open
source, you write it” approaches one." -

I'll add that someone will say "pay someone", "switch back[1] to
Windows" etc. pp..

[1] very nice if people never used Windows and Mac.

Btw. I'm able to restore my testing with GNOME 2, but if I would do
that, the day will come when I would run into dependency hell.
