It will be sustainable when it will have been sustained a bit, don't you think ? ( because mint already announced first to add js extension to gnome shell, then to fork gnome 2, then to develop a new DE , so maybe they will do another thing next week ). ( and personally, I do have both a smartphone and gnome 3, and I wonder if people who say there is a smartphone look to gnome 3 have a smartphone, cause mine do not really look like gnome 3 ) I do not have much trust in linuxmint code ( there is several unfixed serious flaw in their python tools, like https://github.com/linuxmint/mintupdate/blob/master/usr/lib/linuxmint/mintUpdate/mintUpdate.py#L1444 or https://github.com/linuxmint/mintnanny/blob/master/usr/lib/linuxmint/mintNanny/mintNanny.py#L71 ), but if someone do proper packages ( and if they do not open hole like these one ), why not. -- Michael Scherer
