Parent article: Announcing printerd

Erm, as far as I can tell, the purpose of a project announcement is to introduce the project to other people. This blog article is incomplete on that front. My takeaway from that article is exactly the same as the grantparent poster's: they don't have a problem, but they're trying to solve it anyway. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a project announcement to state what problems the project aims to solve.

Look at the announcement of systemd for example: http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd.html -- when reading it, I immediately recognized a few of my pet peeves listed and understood the value of the project.

It's not as simple as that. The author of this project is also a Fedora developer. I think that users have the right to complain when they see a distro going in a direction that they don't like.

Exactly. I wouldn't be surprised to see printerd as the default in Fedora 19.
