Sorry to sound like trolling, but you are sooooo totally missing the
point it hurts. The point is not a GUI discussion, but a release cycle
discussion. So, you being no fan of GNOME means what ? We should NOT
have 6 months release cycles ? KDE has different release cycles and will
not fit ?
Ah and if you are starting that thread, would you be ready to maintain
KDE on Indiana ? packages, updates, ports etc ... ?

*sigh* /me goes and kicks a wall out of frustration ..

cheers

Michal.

PS: totally +1, although before I give a final vote I would rather like
to define what a release is. A major feature upgrade ? Or just a
packages upgrade ? Cause if we are back to the very small core distro
thingy than releases make no difference for most users besides for
marketing. 3 months milestones for beta and 6 months release cycles for
new core features could be a bit tough if we want to keep our image of
the most stable system in the world ;)
