clearly the best way not to interrupt your workflow is not to upgrade at
all... who is being stupid here?
so you recommend in other words using F4 after EOL in december this year
eith all impact: no security updates, no new hardware support?

First of all, no one 'threw' anything away. GNOME 2 code is available,
GPL and if distributions want to maintain it, they can include it
forever.
nice theory, but not more
Secondly, if you have a group that shares your view, fork the GNOME
code
and package it for Fedora or any other distributions... knock yourself
out. Seems as though it's awful easy to whine but none of the whiners
actually want to do any of the work.
you are not realize the difference between users and developers!
Lastly, you seem eager to speak for many people but I don't see
but a
handful of vocal obdurates that 400 years ago would have been known as
'flat earth' people
dumb argument
what have this to do with a actually destroyed workflow?
Life goes on, things change, your ox has been
gored. Do something about it if you want but recognize that endless
whining on list pretty much is a waste of time and energy... suit
yourself
you call it waste of energy
i call it HARDLY NEEDED because the folk who decided invasive changes
in users workflows in other cases would think all is super and the
next time the same happens again
nope... pretty much all the distro's are wrestling with the same
issues.
For that matter, Apple has done much the same with Lion and Microsoft is
doing much the same with Windows 8. Everyone is on a drive to produce
the next generation user interface.
and that is exactly teh problem
we DO NOT NEED a apple-clone
there is nothing which i hate more than the missing usability of
the apple-gui for power-users - as example: finder is the most
laughable filemanager out there
if someone like this crap -> well buy an apple computer!
I switched to Ubuntu server - wasn't a big deal. It was still
Linux last
time I checked
*lol*
you have swicthed one single webserver with standard packages and think
you understand the world? so try to switch a infrastrcuture with > 20
servers intracting 100% automated one with each oter, self written
deployments and a bun ch of service-dependencies
you can not and you think only you can because it seems you have never seen a
professional environment where people really work with their computers (servers
and desktops) the whole day and often also night
