I ran across this interesting post from an upstream GNOME developer which I think deserves some signal-boosting, as I haven't seen much of its contents mentioned or alluded to so far in this thread, and it's quite relevant to how much we should expect this to be a problem:
http://blogs.gnome.org/desrt/2014/02/19/on-portability/ Aside from an anonymous troll (it's a shame everyone even remotely involved appears to have to deal with those these days), his comments seem to have pretty broad support among the other GNOME developers I recognise who've commented. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-ctte-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
