Red Hat didn't work on the image viewer. Why do you keep making comments on things you are uninformed on?

Exactly, distros need to kept up-to-date, and by updating GNOME, you get new features for free. Downstream, Fedora grabs these updates. Downstream of that, someone spams Hacker News with the changelog. It's the cycle of life.

Honestly glad to err here. Kudos to Chris Davis, Sophie Herold and other contributors.

I'm informed well enough on the facts that a) Red Hat is the top contributor to GNOME; b) development of core GNOME features is going too little, too late, while every release is boasting about not-so-important stuff getting done. So I'm being vocal about that, because why not?

If only two thirds of GNOME weren't contributed by full-time Red Hat employees, sure.

Community members outnumber Red Hat developers.

Can you actually confirm that they're actually instructed by Red Hat to do this? Or is there just a large coincidental overlap between GNOME contributors and Red Hat employees?

Because many of the new "features" are either unwanted or at worse distracting

Which features in the new release did you not want?
