On the contrary, what tibbs and I didn't like is that committee discussions get mangled with additional discussion. Your previous suggestion had this list merge with fedora-devel, now it's fedora-extras, in both cases you get very different content killing the other's SNR. I still think most organizational bodies need a list primary for their daily work. That is not to say that other people should not subscribe and discuss there, too, but the topic should be defined in that way. I liked the way it was until now: Packagers would consult each other on fedora-extras or other lists and if some issue escalated for the packaging committee to look at it would do so. That's why we have such a good SNR. Please keep fedora-packaging as is - it is one of the split off lists that served its purpose rather well IMHO. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
