Comment 37 for bug 1321750

@Reuben, I think you accurately assessed the situation in post #20. In reality, what you've done is take a program that used to do something, and made it do something else. In its current state, it's very well-designed, and can be very helpful--just not for those of us who have come to rely on it for what it used to (and will no longer) do.

At the end of the day, though, you are to be commended for putting the time and energy into this hobby project of yours for the sake of others. There is definitely a lot of value in getting a system into working-like-it-probably-should condition for the swathes of non-tinkerers who use (or should use) Linux. Your idea was a good one, though perhaps not executed in the best way. Thank you for reconsidering. And thank you for not getting too discouraged at the barrage of complaints that resulted from your hard work.
