I guess it's a question of how long the other proposal takes |
| 14 |
implementing. If just a month or two, two migration within that time |
| 15 |
period doesn't make so much sense. If we really estimate slow progress |
| 16 |
there, then I guess we can have users deal with the multiple migrations |
| 17 |
and some months of small benefits from the better profiles. |
| 18 |
Just this situation with desktop profiles has existed for as long as |
| 19 |
desktop profile have existed, so waiting a couple months more for the |
| 20 |
perfect solution (while avoiding multiple migrations) doesn't sound like |
| 21 |
a bad idea to me. |

I appreciate you intending to take a lead on pushing the other proposal |
| 24 |
too. |

I guess I should review the gnome subprofile soon, I assume some of our |
| 27 |
other guys already did though. |
