Perhaps that is true; but what I believe Kevin is trying to convey is
that we (the Fedora community) should not and cannot stifle our progress
for the sake of some 3rd-party proprietary stuff.
and it HAS NOT to make UNNEEDED changes to make their use harder
hopefully nobody will tell me okular/envince support all pdf-features
and this from e user which does not use acrobat reader but there
are peopole out there which have no choice - so why make
their life harder?
linux should not get a system with self-focus
there are usecases out there which are valid and opensource
should not be a religion!
