Hi,

The more I read about the use of this *special* package, the more I understand how deep this is as a disaster. If you think otherwise, keep reading, the horror stories are there for everyone to see on the debian-users list [and other places], even if new horror stories are /hidden/ from view by moderation and/or filtering! When you too are convinced that the package is a disaster, then you might have read enough -- until then please keep reading and to any DDs out there with a conscience, please make sure a GR gets up to address this ASAP or there will be a mass exodus of users when they are forced to live with this package at some time in the future -- for many, in the meantime, they'll manage to avoid it, at least until they can't possibly avoid it. The default gnome desktop is going to make it harder to ignore and much more likely to provide many more horror stories. I can't be more blunt than that. THIS IS A COMPLETE DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN. Cheers A.
