When I think of fedorahosted, I am used to think only the git part.

My hope is that working together with upstream, maybe they will reconsider this and implement such feature. If Fedora decides to make use of it, that will be a big promotion for GitLab, since the app could be easilyinstalledto RHEL or Centos servers. > I'm not sure if we would want to carry those patches in our package or > come up with some way with upstream to apply them conditionally or > something.

This would be a stopper I guess. Thanks again for your feedback! [0] https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/infrastructure/2013-March/012683.html
