Are you kidding? You'd have thought Fedora was eating
people's babies -
without salt - the way this list blew up when KDE4 came out
in Fedora.
We're just seeing the same shit today. It'd be funny if it
weren't so
pathetic.
This *is* the bleeding edge. Sometimes it's dangerously
sharp, but it
always produces better and better code. Sometimes getting
to the good
stuff takes wading through some bad, it's just the way of
the world.
This whole series of threads is just freaking ludicrous.

For those of us who've been around a while, this is like
fingernails on
a chalkboard that we have to listen to it every couple of
years.

Some folks saw this coming! Turns out that now other desktops are following suit to
TabletLand, even windows 8 :( The traditional desktop is apparently dying :( We
***guninea pigs*** got to test that out(kde 4 series in Fedora 9), gnome 3 series as well
:) It has sharp edges, but it will get there. The Mint Folks have nice looking themes
that maybe can be brought into Fedora for nice incorporation for those users that liked
Gnome 2.X :)
