FOSS lives on trust. No, FOSS lives on its contributors, not random trolls who do nothing but bitch around (even worse, considering that GNOME 3.x forces nobody to use GNOME Shell as it ships with a GTK3 port of the classic GNOME 2.x desktop/panel)
Well he is right. No, he's not. Dot-0 releases in community FOSS projects are usually not for end users.
What´s with Firefox 4.0? What´s with Thunderbird 5.0? And Linux 3.0 was also a dot-0 release and *was* for end users. Stop such _moronic_ arguments.
Everyone with some slight insight (=the typical Factory tester) knows that.
Well, see above.
Heck, that's exactly why openSUSE no longer releases dot-0 versions of its distribution.
Nope. Totally wrong. openSUSE no longer releases dot-0 versions because these versions get more PR then the others.
You can only test what you get presented. And if it's broken in several places it's the best thing you can do to tell them "They" know exactly what's done and what's left to do. And bitching on oS mailing lists is not telling "them". Filing reports in GNOME's own bug tracker is.
To the first: Who´s bitching here? ;-) To the second: Yes, he probably should.
Probably he meant switching DEs. Sorry, didn't want to disturb your general rant against unhappy end users. I'm not ranting, I'm replying.
Nope. You´re ranting.
And Factory is not meant for end users. The release versions are and GNOME 3.0 was never and will never end up in a supported oS release for end users. 12.1 will ship GNOME 3.2.
