you are missing the fact that you or whoever proposes the status quo needs to be changed has to prove why and not the other way around > If I may, I would suggest that being a bit more consistent in your > critics would benefit your position. i am more consistent than you imagine if it ain#t broken don#t fix it if it is wokring don't change it if you say it is broken prove that it is broken before fix it that is the way stable and for endusers good software is developed not by change this and that and that also and look what happens by doing so >> don't forget that you never have real numbers in case of a Linux >> distribution and a few people telling you doing so is not "they" >> in context of the real userbase > > I was giving a talk at pycon.fr last week, and spend the 3 days > discussing with people.
