See, the Desktop team has no say in whether or not a graphical mixer is
available in Fedora. The middle ground between reverting the mixer
feature all together and leaving at is it is having a graphical mixer
installed by default available in the menus. That was the compromise.
If the Desktop team really feels like this wasn't a compromise and it
was something mandated and forced, they can raise it to the board level
if they wish.
To make it clearer:
Before today's FESCo meeting:
* The old mixer was removed
* 1 mixer installed by default in the desktop spin.
* The old mixer could not be installed via PK or yum
Today's FESCO Mandate:
* Revive the old mixer
* Ship 2 mixers by default in the desktop spin.
Compromise seems like it would be something along the lines of:
* Revive the old mixer
* 1 mixer installed by default in the desktop spin
* The old mixer can be installed via PK or yum
