But I think it doesn't make to much sense to discuss that now -- I'd say
we should discuss this again in detail when we are getting closer to
actually realizing it (e.g. maybe four weeks from now; or after F7 is out).

I think it is (¹) and the proposal received only very few flames when it
got discussed on fedora-devel -- hey, it even received some "I like
that" ;-)

Nevertheless I would not invest work into it at this point of time with
the mailing list reorg on the horizon. But I won't stop you ;-)

last topics from this list.
