The only reason not to trust RH's actions is b/c of the number of actors. What I mean is that if the question was phrased: Do you totally trust Max and Greg to do the right thing. I don't see any issue saying yes. If the question is phrased: Do you totally trust all of the various managers and execs at red hat to do the right thing. I have a hard time saying yes. If only b/c I don't know what all of them are doing and/or how it will impact fedora. -sv _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
