My point with all four items in the list was to show you that this is
not a specific case when user will install and use gnome-tweak-tool.
And mentioning gsettings doesn't help here. Because even if gsettings
approach is supposed to be "officially supported", there is no way it
will be actually used instead of gnome-tweak-tool. And even official
docs do not suggest it as a solution for the problems I listed.

I supposed that there are not so many crazy persons in the world who
could spend all their time with web-surfing on some particular topic
instead of doing their real job, as I did. But ok, I won't do this
again. :)

It seems to me that you are pretty sure already that there is no
possible ways to get the representative sample at all. Then, though I
do not understand why fedoraforum.org and #fedora channel doesn't
represent rather big group of Fedora users, I'd better stop discussing
this matter.

I didn't mean that shipping is the problem. I wanted to say that Gnome
3 we are going to ship in F15 does have this particular problem.

I don't think you need to specifically recommend this to me, since I
am already participating. I am rather happy with reaction on my
bug-reporting I get in GBZ, even when bugreports I've posted appear to
be false alarm or very stupid ones. But this mail I wrote here is also
a part of this constructive work as I see it.

There is no fighting here, I gave you the report about feedback Gnome
3 gets and I asked you to consider how this feedback could effect the
Gnome 3 development and packaging.
