I think you're overreacting a bit, but there is some truth in this. Fedora is created and maintained by the community. You are part of the community. If enough of the community shares your needs, some fraction of those will step up to do the work, and you all benefit. If your needs aren't shared by enough of the community, either you need to do it all yourself (or pay someone to act on your behalf), or your needs will never get met. This has nothing to do with "deserve" or "blame" - it's just numbers. Most people have switched to 64-bit, so most work is done for 64-bit, even if not all the 64-bit users are also contributors. The 32-bit community has shrunk to the point where there aren't enough contributors to keep the builds building and the fixes fixing, and there are real problems backing up because of that, even if they don't affect you personally. When there are enough problems and no contributors, what other choice do we have? It's broken and nobody is fixing it. Thus comes the hard part of any project - put up or shut up. Harsh, but it's the root of how things get done - they get done by people doing them. Do or do not, there is no sit-on-the-mailing-list-and-hope. Back when I started the DJGPP project, I had to do everything myself. The community grew and there were lots of contributors. Then the community shrunk until we're back down to 2 people doing all the work. Thus is the cycle of projects, but I don't complain that not enough people are still using DOS :-) OTOH you won't hurt our feelings if you switch distros. Go where your community is ;-) _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
