If we keep maintaining old stuff, then pretty soon Linux will be like Windows: Having code that is 20+ years old because people simply don't want to change.
NOBODY said ANYTHING like that. The *one* thing that pisses us oldtimers off is that almost anything coming out as *new* AND as a *replacement* of something we are used to ALWAYS seems to have about half the features the *old* goat has. why is this so hard to understand? why can't a *replacement* come out with *all* of the old features AND ONLY AFTER THAT add whatever new whatchamacallit the developer wants? in real world engineering this is a given. why do coders (or whoever pushes forth *new* crap) think this is immaterial? d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
