That's certainly true for many individual contributors, which is why I
also said we ought to "to figure out how to better distribute the
development and QA workload to make that happen".
However, for people who make their living developing GNOME software,
IMHO it behooves them as professional open source software engineers
to respect the requirements of the other people who will be using the
code they write, insofar as those requirements are known up front.
And right now, every professional GNOME developer knows up front that
GNOME isn't confined to running on Linux, so that should figure fairly
strongly into their design work.
Cheeri,
