I think the Sugar spin was also the victim of bad timing, which is why I would consider requesting/recommending an _exception_ to the rule. It's OK to break rules, as long as it is known, discussed, and approved. I agree, we do not want people (un)intentionally gaming our system. My recollection of Board discussions around space and bandwidth hogs such as spins and secondary archs are pretty clear -- we were very much in favor of space/band usage being the sole discretion of Infrastructure in consultation with Release Engineering. If that is not clear, let's make it so. So, what I see here instead is that you _do_ have the final say on this, and you are asking f-a-b if "no" is a big deal from a Project perspective. I don't see that you have to ask permission. I also appreciate that you are asking for this guidance, just in case it is a big deal, etc. In pursuit of that, I've asked Greg to comment on this thread and help negotiate wherever needed. Hopefully he'll know the big deal/no big deal and so forth. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, Community Gardener Dev Fu : http://developer.redhatmagazine.com Fedora : http://quaid.fedorapeople.org gpg key : AD0E0C41
