I suppose that you could say that we applied the just-approved guideline in making that decision, however, it was not framed that way. I specifically mentioned the unfairness of applying a just-made guideline, however, Spot informed us that the packager actually blocked the review on FE-LEGAL, and so specifically was waiting for a decision before proceeding. It's also important to note that the guideline simply gives us the right to deny inclusion - it does not compel that action, and such items would be considered by the Board on a case-by-case basis. _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
