If there is even on a development mailing list no democracy, why asking the
community to support Fedora? Sorry, but if you think that you don't need
democracy in an open source project you are on the complete wrong track.

They might have listen but they didn't argue why this setting is in the
package. They simply say, that's what we like and what the majority of users
like (without any given statistics). Fact is, no other bigger distribution
(Ubuntu, SuSE) nor Windows nor Mac OS use spatial view but appreantly this
completly ignored.

If you behave different compared to all other I would expect strong reasons
for this decision. I didn't saw this strong reasons yet, maybe I've didn't
saw them.

They didn't present the strong reason why going a different way.
