[drupal-devel] A collection of usability problems

[Bèr Kessels]

Correct. 

And my concerns all boil to one thing: rushing in usability improvements 
without proper thought about it is a no-go IMO. 

We are not talking about some nodapi improvment, or wheter a cancel button 
should be a link. 
We are making decisions that form what Drupal IS. Some of the choices will 
have a great impact on what drupal can, is or serves. 
that is why I am so very reluctant about rushing such huge choices in.
