Then change the way that updates to the released distribution are
treated. As long as we don't constrain the constant stream of barely
tested updates, we *are* pretty much forcing our users to restart their
system frequently.
That's been proposed, but we need to work together to do that.
There was a discussion at Flock, and particularly the QA team felt relucant.
I've been thinking about this recently (I guess not completely by
coincidence) and _do_ want to drive that forward... but not just by
unilaterally changing parts of the system before it all works.
We will look at allowing non-offline updates of applications when we
have applications that are truly standalone and separate from the OS
itself.
Where here "we" is Gnome, again?
