Thank you, that is very interesting and insightful info. The question is - could (or would) GNOME do something to avoid that situation with distros? g-c-c could be for linux what "system preferences" are for macos or "control panel" for windows - configuring every aspect of OS except configs of desktop apps (but including system configs, server apps config etc). Well, if gnome does not want it, let it be so. I am just kindly asking to put together some kind of policy document about all those things. Is that a reasonable and constructive request?
