I guess it's a question of how long the other proposal takes implementing. If just a month or two, two migration within that time period doesn't make so much sense. If we really estimate slow progress there, then I guess we can have users deal with the multiple migrations and some months of small benefits from the better profiles. Just this situation with desktop profiles has existed for as long as desktop profile have existed, so waiting a couple months more for the perfect solution (while avoiding multiple migrations) doesn't sound like a bad idea to me. I appreciate you intending to take a lead on pushing the other proposal too. I guess I should review the gnome subprofile soon, I assume some of our other guys already did though. --=20 Mart Raudsepp Gentoo Developer Mail: leio@gentoo.org Weblog: http://blogs.gentoo.org/leio --=-mVd4MeTJNPKTnRlDLZrD Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.8 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAkucIcMACgkQkeYb6olFHJctfQCfbqyWEqUVPVs4Misa2uC9luYH czIAnRc7Hj4DtL3JFeweF/HbPrQwiTQu =rDui -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-mVd4MeTJNPKTnRlDLZrD--
