You fail to understand that if you want to make a new and non backwards compatible computing environment, you should make up a new name for it instead of falsely advertizing that it is something that it is not. Android and webOS don't say "linux" anywhere in their marketing materials. They say android and webos.

- fails to provide any solution to a problem, probably because the problems posed are of her own making or are outside of any remotely supportable use case or scenario.
She just wants to get get actual work done, which she was _already_ doing for decades, not some strange new idea that you could at least theoretically say "you're not supposed to do that". Some of her problems are self-inflicted I agree. People get a little rough around the edges when you punch them in the nose by breaking established conventions, _especially_ needlessly. We are all engineers enough to know that the breakage is needless. You want, I have no idea what you want, but you've failed to explain how it justifies trampling all over users lives. -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
