Bill,
There was a point in which we had to say enough was enough
and go gold. There are people working on Ximian GNOME for
YDL as we speak. When they're available, I'm sure this list
will be the first to know.
We don't make 2.4.x default because it is quite frankly not quite
ready yet for across the board usage on PPC. I don't
really care what Mandrake does, we won't ship 2.4.x default
just to "Keep up with the Jones'" so to speak.. we'll ship
what is best for our platform (PPC) and our users.
