With regard to the specific question, gnome3, I believe we are not asking developers to keep portability as their number one issue. They simply have broken portability by themselves. Gnome was used as the main desktop on OpenSolaris, that is not Linux. But deciding to got for a Linux-tied subsystem they have deliberately chosen not to be portable. Is this right or wrong? I don't care, but we cannot ask FreeBSD (or any other OS) developers to port gnome3 when the gnome community itself has decided to break. Of course, is there is interest, someone will port. Luca
