I have some problems with this attitude.
Why?
First, because many of our systems are NOT servers. We have a very high
percentage of experimentors that are running 7.3 on desktops.
Second, once you start walking down that path of 'servers only' then anything
is fair game. KDE will go out, alot of gnome too, shoot, eventually X since
you don't really need X for web or mail servers.
Now, if we have license issues, that's fine. I'll just find and/or make the
patches elsewhere. Though it would be good to have a list somewhere that says
which one's we can't do because of this problem.
If we also don't feel the security problem is bad enough to warrent the time
it takes, I have no problem there either.
I just don't wnat to see Fedora-legacy be for 'servers only'
Thanks
Troy
