Re: [Trisquel-users] After version 6, Trisquel is moving to LTS only releases.

I agree with most of your points, but not on using MATE. MATE is built using  
gtk2 and is incompatible with upstream gnome. And as gtk3 progressess, it'll  
keep getting older and older. One viable solution is to use Consort, which is  
built off of gnome 3.6 fallback, and is compatible with upstream gnome. They  
have just forked the basic required components such as the panel, wm and file  
manager. The maintainer also aims to bring some old gnome2 features to  
Consort, like the places menu and such. So it's a logical choice to use that  
instead of MATE.
Just my 2 cents.
