1. I think you're confusing vocal contingent on /. and osnews with
'majority'
2. it's not about forcing preferences it is about making sure the code
is maintainable and not riddled with exceptions for corner cases and
optional menus and ridiculous configuration dialogs.

If you really want to learn more about how these decisions get made and
maybe help with them then go be involved in gnome development. But
complaining on fedora-devel-list isn't going to help.
