> GNOME tries to do QA these days and fails as much as Ubuntu, which tries to develop code on its own.
I don't get it. How is Ubuntu developing code a problem for GNOME? It doesn't seem to be a problem for XFCE, so why it is for GNOME?
I think that the notion that a distro is QA for upstream is at fault here. A distro should customize and configure, not fix. If they are forced to fix, then as easily they can write their own code. So, upstream needs its own QA. It's not acceptable to ship garbage and expect that users will pick up the pieces. You can ask for help, but if you rely on them giving it to you then you're doing it wrong.
