And they added back Tango as a fallback and the bug is fixed because now its FDO-compatible... I am pretending the snark at the end by Jakob isn't there and its all good

This is probably one of the most frustrating bug tracker threads to date...
"Your theme isn't FDO-compatible"
"We don't care, not our problem"
"Please remove the FDO-compatible marking on your theme"
"Sounds like a YOU problem"
"Its your theme"
"... bug closed"
Considering this is what you do with your time when given the choice, not much in your case.
At the time of release there was very VERY good reasons for the "mental pretzel" or rather why it was described as a non-distro. All to do with how the landscape looked back in the day outside of KDE and Plasma land. I am glad its finally over tbh and those people that where ready to attack are either doing other things in their distro, or running a slowly dying linux blogg that is now mostly about US political conspiracy theories.
Huh... same here and its been flawless. Guess thats the problem with Arch?

Now I am a KDE fanboy to the bone, a KDE eV member and past contributor to several projects ... so I am kinda biased :D so "yes, yes you should" THAT SAID I know a lot of awesome folks in the GNOME project. People who really really are brilliant and fantastic folks the issue is that there is a culture of "be loudest and most self-assured and you're the best" in certain aspects of the project and combined with the GNOME projects stated focus on just GNOME that creates an air of snobbery among some (sadly some of the people most outwardly visible) and a tendency to demand help from others but refusing to give it when asked. Its a cycle of self-proclaimed victimhood too where they consider any disagreement as either "unprofessional" or just random hostility without reason when it comes from the outside.
Which sucks. Sucks amazingly. Specifically because there are so many great folks in the project doing awesome things for others and the GNOME project who seem doomed to obscurity because of their ability to work with others and not be blustering screaming malcontents due to the projects culture (in certain areas).
EDIT: just to hammer the point home. Amazing project, amazing people but for some reason a handful of people who from the outside look like random asshats have been actively promoted to the top. Perhaps within the project they don't appear as asshats? I don't know. I just know that I have a very very short list of people that I avoid and would leave a project if they where in it because I have seen what they do when in power. Three of that less-than-five list are from the GNOME projects leadership.
