Decisions done on a consensus are usually the better ones, since they include more persons, and thus have a much better chance of generalizing over the whole user base. Especially when they include such fuzzy arguments like this one. The whole KDE project tries to build one coherent desktop environment, and Plasma is a central part of it. It is not alone up to the maintainer of that component to do important decisions that affect the whole desktop experience. The efforts of all other KDE developers are adventured by such decisions as well. This was an extreme minority decision, without good arguments, and the fact that it is now backed alone for the fact that the maintainer stands (nearly alone) behind it is to me a sign of lack of criticism, and that's definitely not the path that leads to the best result. _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
