I advocated just the opposite. No poll is needed. Time will tell which WM survives.
OK, then, if you are opposed to taking a poll -- which would be the only objective means of determining the community-at-large's view on this matter -- and you are just willing to present the GNOME decision as a "community decision", you are free to do so, but don't expect it to be perceived for more than it is: a decision made by a small number of individuals with no consideration for the wishes of the community. That's fine, as long as we all understand what it really is: anything but a community-driven decision process. And as long as this state of affairs persists, the entire process will be subject to suspicion of unfairness. -- Stefan Teleman KDE e.V.
