Normally my interactions with the GNOME Team is friendly mockery. But sometimes one has to stand up next to them. I've ignored the mime handling system as a part of the KDE Team. I've ignored the menu system as a part of the KDE Team. And I have a plan to even more aggressively ignore it (as in, hide it from the menu). Both things are ancient relics that should have been dealt with by removal. I tried bring the latter thru the policy process, but given one of the few people who cares strongly about the debian menu is also a policy delegate, it is just a uphill battle and much easier to just move on. > But if the members of the TC do > *not* think this is true - if, indeed, our collective preference is for > upstart rather than for systemd - then I don't think we should be swayed by > assertions that GNOME upstream is tethering itself to a specific init system It is not only GNOME upstream that is heading towards systemd as the way to do things. It is also where stuff is heading in KDE land. /Sune -- Genius, I'm not able to cancel the mousepad of a SIMM, how does it work? The point is that you neither can ever explore the analogic program, nor have to ping a printer for saving the SCSI gadget on a proxy over a parallel button. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
