Well, in some cases they make sense. For some time openSUSE chose to disable Strigi by default because it caused trouble on the live CD. No idea whether it's still openSUSE's default (I simply upgrade all the time, keeping my current settings). No bouncing cursor, classic menu, Colibri notifications,... are valid suggestions for distributions. They may refuse to implement those but still: Those are exactly the kinds of features distributions even exist. In other cases the "suggestions" are outright foolish: Switch to Compiz and disable compositing? WTF? Compiz works only as composite WM -- that's where it got the name from. ;-) I am also on opensuse-kde and fedora-kde. At least on these lists I'd be happy to inform him that his suggestions show that he's not the target audience. ;-) Markus
