Shuttleworth's Take On GNOME 3.0, Coordination with Debian

    Insightfull? Just STFU. KDE 4.0 was CLEARLY labeled as "WILL EAT YOUR CHILDREN" everywhere, except for in the release notes which someone screwed up. Anyway, since when, exactly, is an upstream project responsible for what a downstream project, in this case the distribution your installing on your system, chose to include or not? How is it the KDE projects fault that various distributors apparently did not read ANYTHING but the release notes, and apparently did NO testing whatsoever that would have revealed that 4.0 wasn't for end users, and thus should have been avoided? Hmmm? Go back to under your bridge.
