Oh, and somehow "consensus" will work? No, sorry, it will not. |

How about the basic FACT that today, such systems do not work, and are |
| 12 |
not supported by a wide range of packages we support today. |

Yes, some people are "lucky" in that their systems don't have those |
| 15 |
packages, but others are not. The simple "I use a bluetooth keyboard" |
| 16 |
is one such example. |

So it's not a "we know best", it's a "it will not properly work |
| 19 |
otherwise." |

It is strange to watch people somehow think that if they complain |
| 22 |
enough, or feel strongly enough, something is going to change here to |
| 23 |
make this basic fact go away. |

Now, to get back to what I said before, I'm done with this thread, it's |
| 26 |
going nowhere, and it seems I'm just making it worse, my apologies. For |
| 27 |
penance, I'll adopt the next abandoned package someone throws at me, any |
| 28 |
suggestions? |
