Some facts: - Cinnamon started out as 'using GNOME components', but it is not a full fork of mutter, gnome-shell and nautilus, at least, and bug-fixes are not going either way... - GNOME 3.8 will replace the dismal fallback mode with a new 'classic' mode that is actually based on the latest GNOME components, and will be a more 'traditional desktop', whatever that means. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
