personally, i miss dom's periodic round-up mails. yes, i know i can get exactly the same thing on the web, but whenever it came around i made a point of seeing if there was anything i could work on, and when i yum'ed a -testing package onto my server, i went straight to the roundup to find the bugzilla page to log my +VERIFY.
dom, is there any chance you'd consider posting these regularly?
In particular, I note openmotif, sharutils, ruby, ethereal, and php as ones which require only someone with FC1 to give it a "go ahead". Packages for RHL73 and RHL9 have been stalled due to this.
is it worth starting discussion about separate releases, particularly as we move towards inheriting FC2? i can see the advantages of pushing out, say, php fixes for all platforms at once, but i'm not sure they outweigh the problems caused by the extended wait for the +VERIFYs for the unloved distributions.
or are we having enough acrimonious discussions already?
