It appears you're happy telling people what to concentrate on, all I'm saying is that I'm not. But I bet that this will be an issue, and it's one we can handle easily with a tiny bit of foresight. >> The whole "fall-back" messaging & in particular the absence of a short >> list of places where this is known not to be appropriate seems to me to >> be setting us up for an entirely avoidable post-release shit-storm... >> but like I said, it's not my call. > > What do you mean, "Not to be appropriate?" GNOME 3 is not appropriate, apparently, over VNC, and over thin clients (at least, this is what I've taken away from this thread). So we need to say "GNOME 3 won't work well in <these situations>, and since the GNOME 3 fall-back is not a full-featured GNOME desktop, you might want to stick with GNOME 2.32 if you're in this situation." > Fallback will work > everywhere that GNOME 2.x has worked and any sysadmin crazy enough to > deploy an enterprise desktop roll-out of a non-Enterprise distribution > already has the tools they need to force Fallback Mode if they are so > inclined.
