Hi all,
We are planning on ordering the next lot of XO-4s and I need some
suggestions on which keyboard model to choose -membrane or
hard/clicky one. We had membrane one for our first lot and keyboard
switching was very convenient on that model. One reason not to choose
hard/clicky one is that

James,
Do we have any data re the mechanical reliability/durability/repairability
of the hard/clicky keyboards? We do know that although there were some
issues with membrane pealing (presumably resolved with the newer design)
there numerous ingenious local repairs such that most are still working
Walter,
You remember correctly. The hard/clicky/crunchy keyboards are not rated
for as long a lifetime as the membrane/chewy keyboards. While the membrane
keyboard design was tested to 5 million key presses, IIRC the clicky keyboard is
only rated to 1 million key presses. (On the other

On a related note, I was curious about deployment experiences with the
new membrane design with plastic grid in between keys. Although this
does help with premature peeling of keys, I've always had trouble with
these keyboards - the outer edges of my fingers get in the way of a
full key depress.

We made a tooling change to improve that feeling --- we increased
the chamfer around the key openings so that if you miss the key slightly,
your finger slides into the opening more easily.
Unfortunately, this didn't go into production until the XO-4 hit production.
Thanks for pointing

Tim discovered that backups to the XSCE in release 5.0 were failing. I had
changed ds-backup-server to use the WSGI interface (mod_python was
obsoleted in FC18). So I assumed that the ball was in my court. But I
believe the test just completed indicates that the problem was really that

I suggest adding a test for backups to the release checklist for XSCE.
sudo seems to work without setting the bit on ping, so that would be an
alternate approach.
either way, I did a test that confirms that your approach fixes the problem.
as far as testing is concerned, ds-backup is already on the checklist, but we
haven't always followed the list. I was more
