Bero Quits Red Hat Over Treatment of KDE

Posted by chrisd on from the shades-of-raster dept.

Vicegrip writes "In an article on leaked release notes on Redhat 8.0 CNet also revealed that Bernhard Rosenkraenzer, known here on Slashdot as berorh, has quit over objections he has on what Redhat is doing to KDE in the new release. Bero says that the new version of KDE in Redhat 8.0 is going to be crippleware. I know I always found Bero's comments here on Slashdot helpful and insightful. His worries about what Redhat is doing to KDE for 8.0 have me rather concerned and thinking of switching distributions."

    That's utter bullshit. Red Hat has shipped without KDE before and they could do it again. In fact, if they actually wanted to neutralize it, that's exactly what they'd do. Do you seriously believe that Red Hat continues to include KDE because they hate it?

    It seems the KDE community chooses to concentrate much more on their endless whining and political stunts than on development, and the comparitive quality of KDE and GNOME applications bears this out. Especially considering the head-start the KDE project had. Maybe if they had been developing instead of throwing tantrums their applications would be the ones Red Hat had chosen instead.
