You can go and opt out of ever getting any from Fedora. Some folks find them nice in that they can go do productive/good things for Fedora and get a small notification that they did. They also sometimes help people figure out where they can contribute when they didn't think of that area before. Ie, if there is a "Xfce sig" badge, some people who use Xfce and are into collecting badges might show up on this list and contribute where before they didn't know there was a Xfce sig. Anyhow, I see what you are saying, but I don't think badges harm anything and are fun for some folks. > > BTW, I love Linux and XFCE so much that even though I am just a > retired attorney I have taught two Linux classes at our local senior > center.
