They can't win. They get slated for putting late-beta code in
(firefox 3)
get they get criticised when they (allegedly) dont include an _entire_
_desktop_ which is nowhere near finished, with many apps unported.
KDE4 is of course in the repo, and there is a KDE4 Ubuntu CD which you can
get from shipit (I have some).
In addition if you prefer Firefox 2 you can install that on Hardy, and
switch to FF3 when it/you are ready.
What would you do? Release Hardy with firefox 2 that would have no support
from Mozilla in a year or so, meaning Canonical would have to maintain it
themselves?
Perhaps include KDE4 (which most definitely _isn't_ ready), when AIUI
Canonical have _one_ emloyee who deals with KDE for Ubuntu?
Cheers,
Al.
What would I do? I'd be consistent. I agree with them not shipping
KDE4 as default but, they should not have included Firefox3 for the
same reason. In my case Ff3 is somewhat flaky.
