The implications of what you are saying is that we should be statistically normal, that we should not be, should not pay attention to, the 'fringe' cases that 'test' the non-normative conditions.
Normative debates, as opposed to Empirical debates, are debates that require action on a specific topic and a model to implement the idea put forward in the topic, and, predominately, can be signified by the use of the word 'should' in the topic.
Eventually, Richard, when all the argumentation is done, you are saying the 'Empiricists' have no value. That too is why openSuse is 'depreciating' things like ReiserFS, which has proven EXTREMELY reliable and demonstrates the triumph of good design than the 'cut it an see' iterations that depend on bugzilla reports and fixes that are needed to make progress.
Ok i'll bite, openSUSE as a project did not deprecate ReiserFS, openSUSE as a project does not deprecate any software. The openSUSE maintainer of ReiserFS decided to deprecate ReiserFS as they did not want to maintain it in openSUSE anymore. Should another qualified maintainer come along and decide to step up and maintain ReiserFS it will no longer be deprecated but unless someone does the work it won't exist. This is the same for every piece of software in openSUSE. Comments like yours are just another example of what Richard is talking about in that many regular contributors to this list just simply do not know or understand the basics of how the project works. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
