There are heretic movements being made right now to actively kill the Group line, rendering software like rpm-catalog useless to the end-user. Not to mention it nullifies the 3000 or whatever SRs made within the last 2 years, which is a great way to say "thank you, for nothing".
The Group tag is a useless thing - you yourself advocated to replace it with a Tag-based system, not a tree-like system.
But I have also shown that the current tree-ish values make a good figure as tags already. I hope you can understand that, with all the "remove, remove!" atmosphere, there is hesitation to begin deployment of the current group lines with the tag system if the outlook is such that the line gets removed afterwards anyway. Basically, distro-wide changes are harder to make than ever, and SR approval by many entities is just one factor. With that, distros bring (can bring) ever less Added Value to the table. That, in turn, leads to the self-erosion, or actually, self-abolishment of a distro ("Die Distro schafft sich selbst ab") as it can no longer stand out. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
