Not sure if my mind plays tricks with me, but I got the impression
that I hear something like the above as a "shoot the discussion down"
argument every few days right now... This is starting to annoy me, as
statements like the above don't lead anywhere: Decisions have to be
made; repeatably pointing out that it's hard to do them doesn't bring
us a tiny bit further. So please:
Just let a group of interested people make a decision and realize it
as a feature for F11! Then we hopefully can get rid of this topic
(which seems to pop up every few weeks...).
That /has/ been done (yes, I've been around since Red Hat 3.x days), and it
made /never/ everybody happy, thus the recurring flamewars on the
topic. When they say here that it _can't_ be solved it is not out of
lazyness, it is out of (often bitter) experience.
What is minimal for me is sorely lacking while barroquely bloated for the
next interested party.
