Hey, Owen! Don't get me wrong, I love Gnome Shell, Gnome 3 and all the fantastic stuff you are doing! I mean this. But I can't support you in this. I really think this step is a huge mistake and it helps neither Fedora nor Gnome. I wish I could've been at the IRC meeting this week where this came up (there was absolutely no way I could've attended this week) and I would've said the same there. I strongly believe distributions should be more than a collection of packages. They need their own visual identity. I think while Canonical pushes this way too far in one direction with Ubuntu, this move would push it too far in the opposite direction. Red Hat obviously knows this since I strongly believe there is no way they would give this up for RHEL. So why should we for Fedora? Anyway, this is all just personal opinion and I am in no position to decide anything obviously. I just wanted to voice my concerns. Fab
