That's nice but, since that newsletter is sent only to Intel recipients (AFAICS), it does nothing with respect to keeping the MeeGo community informed. Clearly I failed to read the Newsletter in details and missed the one bullet item that mentioned this decision in the "Core 1.2 Execution Update" section. Never-the-less, the newsletter makes no mention of how or why the decision was made... which I would never think to expect for PRODUCT specific communications, but since this decision impacts the PROJECT as a whole, it ought to have been proposed and vetted out publicly (maybe as an RFC) so the full extent of both the technical and perceptual impacts can be exposed and considered. Again, I am probably just being naive still... > I have revoked the submission and we are still talking about the > detailed reversion plan. Could I beg of you and others involved in this to please hold these conversations on the mailing lists (meego-dev at least I would think) rather than behind closed doors? > I will do the local test before submitting it later, any existing > apps/libraries will be affected by the PA reversion as you know? Personally, no, but that is why we need this vetted public ally, because there are many others who do know if/how this reversion will be an impact. Similarly, it would likely help for the community to know WHY the reversion is needed. Exposing the full cost/benefit analysis for all to see could temper perceptions if it's clear that what we get for going back to 0.9.19 is better than staying at 0.9.21. Even better would be to also share to roadmap for getting back in sync with upstream PulseAudio stable releases so everyone knows we're not stuck at (AKA, forked) version 0.9.19 indefinitely.
