You can say that again! I have great time for the Xfce team. Like the NetBSD team they plug away at it quietly and efficiently, making solid, incremental improvements without fuss, and oblivious of the madding crowd outside.

Even if this is a long awaited update, I must say that I'm pleased with this upgrade.

Can anyone tell me if ConsoleKit2 will be a thing ?

I am absolutely stunned. And all giddy.

It doesn't look like -current had gone RC and into a feature freeze, so it would be nice if our BDFL can get 4.12 into the next realease.

I hope Xfce gets some level of automounting on BSDs that can supplicant udisks for Linux without adding too much. I have been keeping track of devd, but I haven't seen how well devd has been expanded as a device manager.

It really depends on whether they can fix all those critical bugs: https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/4.12/roadmap/critical-bugs
