   1) It is interesting to note, that while the linux core (kernel,
drivers, file systems, compilers) have undergone slow and persistent
improvements to being the best they have ever been - (see 2.6.38 kernel
and auto sched for example), by contrast the UI's seem to have been
going through large cyclic re-inventions - for many folk for the worse
tho for many for the better.


  2) KDE 3.5's move to its then 'future' with KDE 4 - lost many to
gnome. Now gnome shell should have learned from this earlier gain ...
either it will change and improve and be the awesome 'future' - or it
will open up opportunity for KDE or Wayland (when its time to be the new
awesome 'future' comes too !! :-) or ...

  3) Are you guys asking if Fedora should be debating, discussing and
deciding whether to follow gnome shell or choose a different path
forward for its primary GUI?

  There will some who want KDE, some who want old gnome (not an option,
sorry) and some who want gnome shell and some even who want to go
Wayland way (possibly others too).

  4) Do we have a mechanism for such a debate anyway?
