I don't see why some mess in Gnome desktop files should be reason to drop a useful tool.
but also more invasive ones such as [bnc#435538].
Hm... someone did a mistake so we should remove the tool he used? And when someone else accidentally deletes his whole home directory with "rm -rf", should we, as a prevention, drop coreutils?
I request the consideration of dropping the package altogether from Factory if there is no reasonable use case which justifies otherwise.
While I don't use shortcuts for "32-bit terminal", others might and I don't think you presented sufficient arguments for dropping them.
If this cannot be done because people do use this package, might I suggest removing it from the default patterns* and hiding the .desktop menu item from the applications menu (as promised in bnc#408320, then somehow reverted), in the least?
How about fixing the Gnome desktop files (bnc#841070) and learning not to blame useful tools for one's mistakes (bnc#435538) instead? Michal Kubeček -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
