Because giving people a choice when they can't possibly make a good
informed decision is horrible UI.
I am confused. How does this comply with the "it doesn't really
matter" argument which was the primary reasoning that was presented to
reject this proposal?
If you've got someone new to Fedora, and they go to the page,
asking
them to choose between Mumble and Frotz (and Moof, and Wobble), with
no other data (as exists right now on get-fedora, or even on the OpenSUSE
page), there's no way they can make a useful decision, and it's only
going to make their experience worse.
Could you elaborate on this? What will be worse? Will they just not
download Fedora because there are too many choices? Will we lose
potential users?
Best,
