Sorry, but why they pushed that dot-0 crap as a release in the first place?
Because GNOME is a FOSS project which can do whatever it wants and owes you no explanation at all. Or does the GNOME team have any contractual obligation to you?
FOSS lives on trust. Of course they are free to do what they like to. That doesn't mean you shouldn't comment on bad moves. That's freedom too and quite sane.
If it is not ready for users to be tested and to be judged, it shouldn't be released as a major version at all.
What a load of bull.... It's the distributor's responsibility to pick software for its users, not the responsibility of community projects to care about random users who are so clueless that they don't even know what dot-0 releases are.
Well he is right. 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 it's seriously broken here and there and there. But maybe the tone of the complaint was bad and more details on what exactly bites would also help.
And we (those running factory of opensuse) were forced to move to gnome 3 unconditionally. Nobody forced you to use Factory or dist-upgrade. Unless you volunteer to maintain GNOME 2.x, you have no say at all anyway. Factory is not meant to be stable or for end users at all, anyway.
Yeah and if he didn't test in factory (or even earlier upstream) you'd blame him exactly for that. I know this kind of talk.
I have enough of other work than switching DMs.
What do display managers have to do with it? Gnome brings its own. Probably he meant switching DEs.
