I doubt any of Red Hat paying customers are caring about image viewers or other important GNOME improvements in this release.

- tristan957 3y agoRed Hat didn't work on the image viewer. Why do you keep making comments on things you are uninformed on?
- phendrenad2 3y agoExactly, distros need to kept up-to-date, and by updating GNOME, you get new features for free. Downstream, Fedora grabs these updates. Downstream of that, someone spams Hacker News with the changelog. It's the cycle of life.
- reisse 3y ago> Red Hat didn't work on the image viewer. Honestly glad to err here. Kudos to Chris Davis, Sophie Herold and other contributors. > Why do you keep making comments on things you are uninformed on? I'm informed well enough on the facts that a) Red Hat is the top contributor to GNOME; b) development of core GNOME features is going too little, too late, while every release is boasting about not-so-important stuff getting done. So I'm being vocal about that, because why not? > Exactly, distros need to kept up-to-date, and by updating GNOME, you get new features for free. Downstream, Fedora grabs these updates. If only two thirds of GNOME weren't contributed by full-time Red Hat employees, sure.
- tristan957 3y agoCommunity members outnumber Red Hat developers.
- phendrenad2 3y ago> If only two thirds of GNOME weren't contributed by full-time Red Hat employees Can you actually confirm that they're actually instructed by Red Hat to do this? Or is there just a large coincidental overlap between GNOME contributors and Red Hat employees?
- Ckirby 3y agoBecause many of the new "features" are either unwanted or at worse distracting
