"It didn’t attract that much attention at the time, but this setting was changed by the small group who maintain GNOME Control Center. They claimed that text-only interfaces were better."

From Get your icons back, where Adrew brings some light to the “dude, where are my icons?” story in latest Gnome.

That was IMHO one of the weird things in Fedora 12; and even after reading the release notes and realizing that it was a decision/change from upstream, I must admit I got pissed off at first with Fedora.

My fault, because I’m not the kind of person that reads the release notes before upgrading. I thought the upgrade broke something. OK, shoot me :D.

Sometimes something it’s broken in a release, and the user that puts all his confidence in a distribution gets disappointed. Shall the answer from the distribution be it’s broken upstream?

Although the release note it’s OK and explains everything, I’m not sure. It isn’t good to disappoint your users.
