BTW, as a general note, it seems there's a trend building up where
quite significant changes to anaconda's design are being made
apparently without the design team's involvement. The 'newUI' design
was worked on *extensively* by the design team, particularly Mo
Duffy,
and the whole UI design is a piece. I'm a bit worried that all these
changes are compromising the overall 'vision' for how the installer
is
supposed to work.
I think perhaps we should consider running noticeable changes to the
anaconda design by the design team for their review and input...
Hi Adam,
That is not correct. We are in touch with Mo Duffy and she is helping
us to design bigger changes. Last time it was redesign Summary hub to
get there a new spokes. We will probably contact her also with this
change if we see it's needed but I'm not convinced they really are
right now.
