Changing your tone to one that is less inflammatory and (especially) less accusatory would help your case quite a bit.

(Also, it was only released in March - is that really so old?) There have been many 2.3 releases since March, but as the odd minor version number indicates, this is still unstable. While Fedora is cutting edge, it doesn't ship much beta software - certainly they shouldn't for something as critical as the bindings for the system- config-* tools. All that said, it will be rather nice when PyGTK fully supports gtk 2.4. Not being able to assist with the effort, though, I'll not complain about it. - jck -- "Linus isn't taking an opinion poll on patches and neither should interaction designers take an opinion poll on designs." -- Havoc Pennington -- Fedora-config-list mailing list [email protected] http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-config-list
