They can if they want to as is with anything, nobody is forcing anything
upon anybody here nor am I asking or expecting anyone to do any
additional work here.
I suggest next time you guys go witch hunting you actually bother to
read the SIG description which should have answer at least some question
that was being asked here and I suggest as I have suggested before that
you take this discussion to the relevant mailing list if you want to
discuss this further.
Which is linked from, hmm, here, because it wasn't in any of your e-mails to the
list:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Gnome
"
The Fedora Gnome spin is maintained collectively by the Gnome SIG but should
essentially be following upstream module set for any given release starting
with 3.10 and only add packages that greatly enhanced that end user experience
run on top of btrfs filesystem on modern ( UEFI ) capable hardware.
"
Well, we don't use btrfs because it's not ready yet, and integrating better with
UEFI
is already on the road map for GNOME, or at least to provide boot options in
the settings. That includes work on settings (obviously), but also very likely grub
or gummiboot, the installer, systemd, etc.
Having to maintain a separate spin isn't going to help us free time to work on this,
and even if we are frustrated by some technical decisions that end up being made for us,
we plough on, and try to provide better experience all the time.
A separate spin doesn't help.
