Hi Stefan,

This was the case with his "addon repositories are bad" crusade and I see this repeatedly with "nvidia -- don't use it!" -- "virtualbox -- you are doing it wrong!". (Fortunately for the "addon repos" crusade, it was shown quite clearly at OSC2016 that Richard's opinion is the opinion of a small minority.)
Contributing to openSUSE is not a popularity contest. It doesn't matter if my opinion is shared by a broad majority, a small minority is fine if those small minority are contributors able and willing to do what is required to address the issues that have been raised. If you look at the recent efforts to improve the structure and content of some devel projects (such as devel:languages:python), the efforts by the Packman team to reduce duplication and risk for Leap and Tumbleweed users, and the increase in package contributions to both Leap and Tumbleweed, I would say that my talk at oSC2016 had a larger impact than I would have expected or hope. Long may it continue, because I still think there is a lot of room for improvement in these areas, even if you do not :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
