I didn't say the ideal is reachable. The point of ideals is to provide a target, not to be the only solution acceptable. Debian can do better, even if it can't meet the impossible goal of perfect usabiliity. > Congrats for having bought a BT hardware that is fully compatible with > open source drivers.

Don't say "Since it isn't possible to be perfect, we'll just be terrible." The current system is better than terrible ... but it is bad. -- Carl Fink nitpick...@nitpicking.com Read my blog at blog.nitpicking.com. Reviews! Observations!
