Come, there's more nuance than that. Say I proposed an awesome app store Feature for GNOME, but it happened to require some new package format I'd invented, I gather GNOME wouldn't just assume that all platforms should switch to my new format. There must be some maximum threshold of work that is forced upon platforms in the form of "keeping up with GNOME". I'm curious where the release team thinks that threshold lies. And presumably it considers user base and/or developer base in how much work it is asking others to do? i.e. requiring some HURD feature and asking Linux devs to adapt would probably be a harder sell than the reverse? -mt _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
