While constructive feedback may be there, the message also had: "gnome-disk-utility got that right. the new blivet ui did not. And this is not something you can add as an afterthought, you actually need to do your homework and split things up into privileged and non-priviliged parts from the beginning." Which I read as "you've failed and it's not something you can fix." I feel this is an incredibly negative attitude and discouraging to anyone trying to contribute to the Fedora community. If that was truly the case with software [being unable to correct things later], we'd have a much different system than we do today. If you are going to offer constructive feedback, don't then change course by saying it's hopeless. You're canceling out your statements that way. -- David Cantrell <dcantr...@redhat.com> Manager, Installer Engineering Team Red Hat, Inc. | Westford, MA | EST5EDT -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
