Defects are one thing, they need fixing. But Requests For Enhancements are entirely at the whim of the programmers to handle and reject. Things evolve here (and with other projects), and that can be added or changed features, and dropping of things. Over time, too many features can get added, and programmers find it too hard to maintain. Then someone decides to start from scratch. And the cycle repeats. At least with command line tools, you can often create your own tools based on them, or wrapped around them, to add your own personally needed features. But often you just have to go with the flow. Fedora is a fast moving target, and some of us don't update to each new release because it's too much change, too often. And that is another approach. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 (yes, this is the output from uname for this PC when I posted) Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
