I'm very well aware, which is why I don't use must. It is a very long
process, not going to change any time soon. Again, this started out with
me saying "I prefer"... a minor note about my thoughts. Don't think that
any of my messages as something I don't intend e.g. as if they are
instructions on what Mageia should so.

Power I fully agree with.

Depends on who is giving the support.

Indeed.

</I>
To be clear: I think MCC is great. But I also use Fedora sometimes. And
sometimes Ubuntu. I highly prefer Mageia. I find it sad that something
like MCC is distro specific. Other distributions have tools with their
own advantages. I prefer if such tools are shared across distributions,
just like most software is available between distributions. Possibly
with some slight patches (like a lot of software), but that's it.
Practically, probably not going to change any time soon, but I hope it
does.. nothing more.
