Now, I don't see any possible way Case B could be argued more
effective than
Case A. In fact, I think it's worse in every possible respect.
Case C:
- User(s) find somethiing they dislike about Fedora's Gnoem desktop
- User complains to
fedora-devel-list/fedora-list/bugzilla.redhat.com/...
- Fedora maintainer sees many many complaints about feature and takes
issue upstream or to application developer. (maintainer != developer in
some (most?) cases)
- Fedora maintainer or developer act as aggregate voice of userbase to
Gnome and pushes to get feature corrected upstream.
- As last resort Fedora maintainer creates patch or takes stance and
provides quantitave reasoning as to why they are sticking w/ feature
that lots dislike
End result? Community and target users do see that maintainers care and
listen and try for the end user's best interest.
