Holy cow, what incredibly pointless bickering.
Grow up and act like adults, please. All of you. On both sides of
the issue.
You're all right.
GNOME 3 is going to be awesome. People are working really hard on
it, and what they're creating is really sweet.
When it ships, it will be missing a lot of functionality that was in
GNOME 2, functionality that people have come to expect and rely on.
People are right to be disappointed about the missing functionality.
People are entitled to hold the opinion that the missing
functionality is significant enough that the GNOME 3 desktop
shouldn't ship without it.
The people who want to ship as-is ought to be listening to what
the people on the other side are saying, and asking
themselves, "Does the level of discontent we are seeing indicate
that there are enough people who are going to be upset enough about
the missing functionality that we shouldn't ship without it (i.e.,
either stay with GNOME 2 or delay the release of Fedora 15)?"
The people who don't want to ship as-is ought to be listening to
what the people on the other side are saying, and asking
themselves, "Is it perhaps better to ship as-is and cope with the
missing functionality temporarily, until it catches up with GNOME 3,
for the sake of getting the major improvements in GNOME 3 out into
the field for people to use and not incurring the substantial
additional cost of either delaying Fedora 15 or making people do a
ton of work to downgrade to GNOME 2?"
You all should be asking these questions in a mature and civil
fashion, not bickering like eight-year-olds. And certainly not
telling people you disagree with to shut up.
Assume
good faith.
