Why don't you ask them why it should be changed, and just stop there if they don't have a good answer? Why fix something that is not broken. > Seems only the SC portions keep things separate, I mean extragear > releases bundle software/translations together, so it's not like it's > something new or different. openSUSE actually bundles together even translations for some extragear stuff. And, as a user, I'll much rather install czech translations for few apps I perhaps don't use rather than translations for all the languages in the world I definitely do not use. > (1) releases that kept software/translations bundled together makes > their packaging simpler, imo. Why? You just package a tarball and that's it. What is there so complicated about that? -- Lubos Lunak openSUSE Boosters team, KDE developer l.lu...@suse.cz , l.lu...@kde.org _______________________________________________ release-team mailing list release-team@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team
