I realise the issue here really is that we should not have started the
conversation without putting something tangiable out there, so people
could see the extent of and the implications of what is being proposed.

At the moment, most of what is coming through is just fear based on
exaggerated assumptions.

I prolly sound frustrated, certainly am. But then I guess the vocal few
are never really a true representation of community.

Anyway, there are some interesting options on how we can and might also
be able to do creative around around the edges, lets explore those as
well. the aim, after all, regardless of what some people are harping on
about, isnt to break the distro - its just to facilitate other optinal
things.
