This isn't a case of the board skipping out on it's responsibility IMO, but rather the board trying to stay out of the way and not wanting to micromanage every last decision to be made. Fedora is a place where individuals are empowered to make things happen, and generally don't need permission to get things done. While I can appreciate that folks want sanction, I'd far rather them take things up on their own. --David speaking only for myself. _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
