A serious question for you Jeff, would XML exist in any applications today if it were developed by a few people in some basement and the authors went around trying to convince upstream projects to use it? Let's get real.
I said i was giving Elektra the benefit of the doubt. It could very well be that their implementation is in fact not a useful implementation and its not a compelling thing to use by either new projects nor established projects... but I was trying to be nice. Being nice is not my strong suit and everytime I attempt to be nice miscommunication happens. Sorry about that. Let me try a style of communication that I'm more comfortable with using the subtle nuances of.
The discussion of this issue on the fedora lists is a waste of everyone's time. Discussion of how to solve similar problems have already happened in the context of freedesktop. If you spent a little more time doing research instead of blowing hot air into this list you would have discovered the D-Conf spec and related discussion and followed up on it to see how its impacting upstream GConf development. All of which happens outside the scope of fedora.
