[Jonathan Kamens]

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.
