That's why I suggested reducing it to "quality reporting much improved,
ensuring the desktop keeps getting better" or something along those
lines. Try to turn a negative (application crashes) into a positive (you
generate a feedback cycle that improves the platform).

As it's a third party project trying to make a brand for itself, you
might be right. But let's not talk about "Tangoification", let's talk
about "Thanks to the Tango project, the GNOME web browser has never
looked better". And yes, Epiphany has been nicely spruced up.

You might be right - I didn't really understand what this function might be.

In those circumstances, perhaps it's best not to mention it, or to ask
the authors what they meant.

Cheers,
