I believe that Fedora has some guidelines how some technology gets
tested? Surely not by showing it to peoples faces and making them deal
with it. I saw lost of examples where fedora devels have pulled out some
feature because it wasn't mature and was getting in way of usability. I
don't get why is this case any different.
Again I'm not talking about general fedora distro, only Desktop spin.
