As discussed on the bug, this will likely help some, but it doesn't |
| 11 |
help anybody who uses KDE or Gnome. |

I'd normally suggest a news item, and that would make sense BEFORE |
| 14 |
making changes like this, but at this point it is a bit like fixing |
| 15 |
the doors after the horses have already left. It won't even help new |
| 16 |
users much - their difficulty will be getting these packages |
| 17 |
installed, so unless we just broadcast it to everybody just in case |
| 18 |
they want to install qt and chromium, it isn't going to be effective. |

We almost need some kind of news mechanism for people who are about to |
| 21 |
install something. |
