"almost all" is not "all", so much for sure. And what part of my mails
leads to the conclusion that "community input is meaningless" is a
mystery to me.
Fair enough. I do not read any such implication. And yes, it's easy to
be defensive. :)
"To come out of Red Hat" means it is something that is based on prior
work within Red Hat or something with a dependency on Red Hat. Add to
that proposals, ideas, plans, restructuring, results from hall-way
discussions, results from internal meetings, requests from internal
departments, things that are set in stone already and just wait for FPB
to give the obligatory +1. Nowhere, and pay attention now please,
_nowhere_ did I imply that the decisions that come out of Red Hat would
be bad.
I guess this is the key question, and one that we need to answer as
honestly as we can:
If Red Hat tries to force a *bad* decision down the throats of the Fedora
community, what is the ability of the Fedora board, as a body, to resist
that decision? I like to think it's pretty strong. Am I fooling myself?
