Engineering is science. How do you think engines get improved on? This is computer science... software engineering, particularly. > > It's 9 days until feature freeze, so if you want it different I suggest > sending patches. > Obviously given the solutions I outlined above, 9 days is not enough. You would want to rewrite some stuff in a big, complex, and critical software product; then you'd have to test it, a lot. AFAIK things get kicked out of feature freeze for not being stable enough or well-tested before freezing-- which, btw, is a very good idea. My point was more that if you think it's wrong, you should suggest and continue to advocate a better solution, even after all is done and said. Maybe the NEXT release will turn around and do something different; maybe it'll be FIVE releases down the line. Hell, maybe Xorg gets replaced with something much better someone came up with this morning over coffee. Things eventually change, sometimes the changes get changed. If you don't like it, keep thinking of better ways. > Scott K > > -- > Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list > [email protected] > Modify settings or unsubscribe at: > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss > -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
