Normally my interactions with the GNOME Team is friendly mockery. But
sometimes one has to stand up next to them.
I've ignored the mime handling system as a part of the KDE Team.
I've ignored the menu system as a part of the KDE Team. And I have a plan to
even more aggressively ignore it (as in, hide it from the menu).
Both things are ancient relics that should have been dealt with by removal.
I tried bring the latter thru the policy process, but given one of the few
people who cares strongly about the debian menu is also a policy delegate, it
is just a uphill battle and much easier to just move on.

It is not only GNOME upstream that is heading towards systemd as the way to do
things. It is also where stuff is heading in KDE land.

Genius, I'm not able to cancel the mousepad of a SIMM, how does it work?
The point is that you neither can ever explore the analogic program, nor have
to ping a printer for saving the SCSI gadget on a proxy over a parallel
button.
