The number of characters typed as part of this thread, from a non-insignificant number of people, is significantly larger than the 187 characters of changelog and 3 removed lines of spec file required to 'resolve' this matter and no longer install the non_oss pattern in openSUSE by default.
Heck, this post, pointing this out, is also longer than the actual change required
If we talked less and did more, where would openSUSE be by 2018?
Lets try to find out.
The discussion is about consensus. openSUSE is a collaborative effort not a fiefdom. For matters such as this I’m happy that there is engaged discussion and I wish more people were contributing. If you wish to help, you could devise a more efficient way to discuss these matters and assess the support for the various competing proposals.
The ‘resolution’ you propose doesn’t have the support of the majority of members, so it’s no resolution. The resolution which does have support is to leave it as is.
AS I’ve said earlier, constricting people’s freedom to choose because you (or anyone) knows the right answer a priori is a form of dictatorship. It’s especially ironic that you wish to do so in the name of freedom.
If you cannot persuade ordinary people, without exaggeration or scare tactics, of the rectitude of your position, then do not try to impose it by force.
Yours David
