+It will be sustainable when it will have been sustained a bit, don't you
+think ? ( because mint already announced first to add js extension to
+gnome shell, then to fork gnome 2, then to develop a new DE , so maybe
+they will do another thing next week ).
+
+( and personally, I do have both a smartphone and gnome 3, and I wonder
+if people who say there is a smartphone look to gnome 3 have a
+smartphone, cause mine do not really look like gnome 3 )
+
+I do not have much trust in linuxmint code ( there is several unfixed
+serious flaw in their python tools, like
+https://github.com/linuxmint/mintupdate/blob/master/usr/lib/linuxmint/mintUpdate/mintUpdate.py#L1444 or 
+https://github.com/linuxmint/mintnanny/blob/master/usr/lib/linuxmint/mintNanny/mintNanny.py#L71
+ ), but if someone do proper packages ( and if they do not open hole
+like these one ), why not.
