I doubt it - but only because it seems impossible to me the think of all
possible effects/problems ;-)

What I don't understand is, why is os following so early/at all? Is the
os project more or less blindly following fedora design decisions now?
How about not copying this feature over (or to be more precise: disable
it completely, which might let us use the original semantics for how)
and see how fredora survives the coming weeks. Once they've found the
very ugly stuff we may look at lessons learned and then enable this
or continue to disable it.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
