Similar to the new philosophy of Gnome changing the capabilities if their own apps to become worse to comply with a plan to make everythimg better in other regards. I see that this had a major push towards those of us that do not want to adapt to these changes quickly, including users and developers.

The current situation is not fixable I guess. I do agree that the support URLs should not point to Gnome anymore, and if adaptations to the old software was made, a rebranding would be fair. Pointing to Gnome, they did a bad job in the first place, is Kindergarten.

However as a resource is scare to adapt all those applicarions, that might not be something you just do over night. Also we could request from Gnome that they rebrand their tools once they do a major shift in their design philosophy, which makes it hard for others to adapt. Not that I think they should but it basically is the same argument. It is to illustrate that this is not really solvable by arguments on either side.

Pragmatic opinion: replace the support URLs and point to a side addressing the problem with solutions, that range from switch distros or become a developer and fix the issues in Mint or Gnome, so you as a user can build your own Roadmap on how you want to address it. But in an honest way without pointing at each other.
