The way the comment was presented (and granted, we're missing
context here) was as if this behavior was a bug.
I doubt anyone believed the behavior was unintentional.
So it's definitely not a bug in the strict sense of the term.
The question raised in that discussion was whether this behav

They can recommend, but they cannot "specify" anything for us. In the

I really don't like that "eh, just one English word to learn, deal with
it" condescending tone.
That tone was not in my message -- it comes from you, not me.
It is normal for people to disagree on a technical question, so you

Can't these be brought up on proper GNOME lists then? Especially
seeing as there is no public archive for your GNU list.
We use this list for private discussions about GNU in general.
Sometimes the issues relate to GNOME, but that doesn't mean
they're specifically about GNOME. It would be

In general we discuss on gnu-prog-discuss issues about how to make the
GNU system better and/or more successful. Some of them are technical,
some are not. Some of them involve GNOME.
So it would be good to have a couple of people who are in the heart of
GNOME decision making and would like to im

The list gnu-prog-disc...@gnu.org is meant for GNU maintainers to
discuss issues. Some of them pertain to GNOME. It would be useful to
have some influential GNOME developers in the list. Could you invite
a few to contact Karl?
