If the differentiation is getting them money, they do have a negative incentive to push anything back upstream.

They're just sane and GNOME3 developers seem to have been slowly regaining remnants of their sanity after being that deaf for too many years, no wonder.

That particular fedora/gnome organism who screwed XKB and ditched Sergey Udaltsov as the appropriate maintainer is a quite bright example of insanity in case you would ask for one.

GNOME has been getting such complains pretty much since 2.0.

The most hilarious aspect of this is that they got a huge amount of shit when they abandoned Sawfish for Metacity because Metacity was extremely simple and non-extensible while Sawfish was very complicated and completely scriptable.

Now that Gnome has gone back to a fully scripted WM people bitch and moan there there isn't a huge configuration GUI application built into it that will instantly allow them to tweak the desktop how they like it.

You really don't see the common thread?

People hate change. Especially when it's poorly explained and seems driven by fluff.

That's… an entirely interesting interpretation of the bitching and moaning I've seen.
