    Wonder if they managed to reach Debian's expected stability despite having such an old and outdated GNOME version.

    BTW, since they focus so much on the new multiarch support, I wonder how their...

    That's exactly my problem. Normally I wouldn't care since I'm quite happy with my F18 box but having to wait over 3 months to get Gnome 3.8 is ridiculous, so out of sync one of the teams should...

    Experimentation is the only thing I've seen mentioned. That blog post also draws inspiration from a fairly long post on how hard it is to design the simplest things.

    I'd really like to know some of the specifics involved in the Classic mode. Are these 3rd party extension that were adopted by the GNOME devs (if yes what does that mean about their maintenance and...

    Has the development speed of Wayland actually been affected? All I see is proxies responding to Mir (and Wayland devs countering Canonical's pathetic fake excuses) yet even that is at this stage talk...

    I thought it was well established that GNOME just can't win. A strawman is always convenient.

    I've tried to follow most of the discussions regardign the move but here's what I still don't get:...

    While I would have liked the talk to be more concentrated on specific criticisms* rather than general myths I think this thread is a fine example of the level of the dominant anti-gnome argumentation...

    The whole driver situation will turn it into a royal PITA for CDP and given their size (while big they hardly have the recourses EA/Ubi/Activision do) I couldn't fault them I they didn't try. Witcher...

    I'd absolutely love to see it happening but given how heavy (one of the few PC games not designed for 6 year old technology, and not looking like it was) Witcher 2 was I can't imagine its successor...
