I think you could add info on KDE3 being included in 12.1. Possibly it worth mentioning that this makes asylum for at least a part of users who dislike Gnome 3.
This is my strong objection to mentioning KDE 3 in our 12.1 marketing and release notes. SUSE has a long and undistinguished history of letting noisy tails wag the whole dog, but there is no need for the openSUSE project to continue this. [...]
+1 to everything you wrote (and I was a strong proponent of keeping KDE3 with KDE4 in.. I don't even remember which version that was.. :)) But the situation has changed, a lot. KDE3 really is a dead cow. While the point back then was that almost everyone was on KDE3 and that KDE4 wasn't ready for prime time, and that we would alienate a lot of users, this is absolutely not the case any more as of today. Everyone besides a small niche has moved to KDE4, and KDE4 is definitely ready for the job. Let's please, pretty please, not take pointless technical decisions just to have a few more marketing bullet points to sell. Because that's what it really is. cheers -- -o) Pascal Bleser /\\ http://opensuse.org -- we haz green _\_v http://fosdem.org -- we haz conf
