And before you suggest we drop translations, or drop OO.org, that could be done by anybody in the community. However the Fedora releases the Fedora projects puts forth and mirrors across the world would be suitable for use across the world, with the package set we deem is integral to a Desktop OS, which would IMHO include Openoffice, and its translations. > > Somebody could do that.

Xen is not an alternative kernel (yet). Its built from the same kernel src.rpm and always kept to the same version. Alternative kernels brings to mind having different kernel versions built from different kernel src.rpms, with different kernel-devels and debuginfo and.... Also, Xen isn't really a shining example. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
