I don't know how Freedesktop is organized, however, should an organization partially responsible for the security of what could be millions of desktops, take a month to respond to emails like this? Not to mention that there was only *two* emails mailed during that month, so it would presumably be very easy for XDG spec writes/maintainers to find this email, if they were looking *at all.* Is this organization severely understaffed? What exactly is going on here? Who's responsible? What on earth happened? The people around me don't usually go on vacation during June. They're all busy working during this time. Maybe there is a country/region that takes breaks during June, that I'm unaware of? I won't email on this thread again, since I'll be repeating myself. However, I shall state my final personal verdict below. Wine is not the responsible party here. This vulnerability is the result of *several* negligent decisions, made by numerous parties, including Flatpak/Snap, Freedesktop, and GNOME/KDE. I presume that these organizations are severely understaffed for the work that they're doing, and that they lack the proper engineering teams/volunteers at the right positions, to advise them at the organizational level. (AKA ... they're being ran by a bunch of CEOs and MBAs) Sent with Proton Mail secure email. -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/infra/tickets/issues/new
