I actually don't remember this for Taskotron... I'm pretty sure that's
because most of us can't interact with it.

The problem with Fedora CI is that it's documentation is useless and
attempts to use the system end in miserable failure.

What I'm annoyed about is the continual replacement of things with
stuff that works _less_ than before. I'm sure this has a lot to do
with "agile" and pushing "minimal viable products" as full
replacements, with the hope that it'd iteratively build up. That
doesn't seem to happen quickly enough for things to be useful, and
sometimes the effort going in falls off before it reaches parity with
what it replaced.


As much as I would love to blame Agile/MVP as much as the next guy... part of the reason things keep getting replaced versus worked on is what the developers here from the community is 'X is completely broken, either get rid of it or I am gone.' That and the fact that most developer thinks whatever they (or someone else) wrote last week is complete dog-vomit, leads to a constant iteration of replacement tools. 2-3 years ago it was a weekly email flood of 'Fedora build systems suck.. they have no CI and you can't do CD' 

Look this is remodeling the house. It is very hard to make the master bedroom bigger when we are also told not to make the rooms around it smaller. It is even harder when you have to do it while the people live in the house and we aren't allowed to wake or bother anyone while we do all this work. So you are going to end up with Tata's because anything bigger can't fit in the Civic.

 
Replacing a Honda Civic with a Tata Nano just doesn't fly.
