He's the guy that thinks that GNOME Desktop is the only desktop environment out there.

Oh, that troll still exists? I guess some trolls just can't help themselves..

The KDE founder went to Nokia serving the Lords of MS

Terrain map? I've never heard of anyone using that term for a roadmap?...

It's a terrain map because it's very much not a roadmap. As I said in the post, these are things that we're not planning to work on in the immediate future. I tried to use “terrain map” to signify something higher level than a roadmap; clearly I failed in communicating that.

...replaceable renderer? Does that mean GPU recovery and/or switching on the fly?

No, “replaceable renderer” is about shells being able to bring their own rendering/scenegraph library.

GPU recovery would come under “hot reloading/crash resiliance”. It might be helpful to read the post; it's not very long
