How is this a woof-ce issue? We will follow what is appropriate for stable puppy.
IMHO, I see benefit to what is suggested. And, should be a target for nomenclature used in PUPs going forward.
We should desire any/every approach to attract community membership in PUPPY use. If this is mentioned going forward, it has the potential to attracting consideration to the PUPPY fold for newbies sensitive to this. Thus, could be a benefit without penalty.
Just a thought for consideration.
Ok, I understand the sensitivity of the issue, don't get me wrong. But until things filter through from upstream (Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware etc) then there isn't a lot we can do. I'll re-open so it can be discussed I suppose.
I see this as a development understanding vs a discussion.
Our desire should be (and is) focused to be as friendly to attracting Puppy Linux interest, just as it has demonstrated in past product development. Thus, many will see a commitment in our stride to present that; as well as, all the compelling innovations that this group has done.
As such leaving this open becomes a development target, where appropriate, vs a discussion.
As such it become a supporting part of the mission of WoofCE. Friendly, attentive, progressive along with all the things it has always done.
