Those are well documented stable tools that do exactly what they are told. If I told you that every "sudo rm -fR /var" there was a one in X chance that /usr/bin would get blown away then that would raise an eyebrow. > CCSM is very obviously a power tool.

It's not a power tool, it's a stopgap tool that ended up being used because no one has started to make anything better. All my power tools have safeties on them. :) > CCSM's problems: You list a bunch of things broken with ccsm that haven't been taken care of since Feisty; so I am hesistant for anyone that says "we should just fix CCSM" but no one ever does. It's been nearly _6 years_ that we've shipped this tool and it's been nothing but problems, clearly no one cares enough to fix it, so why carry the risk? -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
