It is possible that a new system, like the mime system, has a major shortcoming that we don't realise unless people actually try it out. > With the spacial nautilus, mime handling, > Cairo based gtk No cairo this time round, afaiaa. > and implementations for other freedesktop standards it's > only natural to try to minimise the risks and leave some features out. > It's also natural that if a void appears something else will take its > place. > > > > > But, as yet, decisions that may frustrate a certain (large or small) > > number of users are not yet set in stone.
