Well this is becoming quite sterile. I don't know how you can claim to
represent (let alone "decide") "how [we] users function" better than
anybody else. Unless you are the only user, of course :-)


I would also point out that the listed requirements will have varying
importances depending on the software and the use case. For example, a
crashy basesystem or X server is very much a critical issue. On the
other hand, I personally don't care if KDE is crashy since I don't use
it. And even for some applications that I use (e.g. Brasero), I can use
an alternative if it's not reliable enough.

Similarly, I may want the latest version of a piece of software because
it has some important feature or improvement (e.g. performance
improvement). On the other hand I won't care about the latest Evolution
version because the current one has all I need. So "I want the latest
software" is not something I can either agree or disagree with: it's
simply too vague.

etc., etc.

Antoine.
