Hi, I don't agree with Arch's reluctance to fix bugs which they consider upstream. I recently installed Mandriva on one of my systems and was amazed to see all the features that are broken in Arch's GNOME, due to them being upstream bugs, fully working in that distribution.
As my principle reason for using GNU/Linux is to get work done and Arch's philosophy seems, to me, to be working against this I feel it is time to depart from Arch. [...]
Why don't use stop using GNOME instead and complain on their mailing list? Don't get me wrong, this is not intended to be an aggressive email at all, but if the bug is upstream... well, it's upstream fault.
I totally agree with Alessio. we should start patching large pieces of software ourselves. We have neither the resources nor the philosophical interest to do that. --vk
