See above. You're not getting it. You talk about "enforcing" something, you preach stagnation. That isn't helpful and not a way forward for Fedora. > Since there are packages going unmaintained it not like they are that > easily replaceable. ??? > It is you as a "insider" > that seems to be denying the "perfect" policy is not functioning as > often as you like and not admitting that it can > be made to work with the staff you had.

Quite obviously, there are _many_ packages that are much easier to maintain than the kernel package (with its ticket linked earlier in this thread). There are different aspects of maintenance. Handling bug reports is just one of many tasks. > And while you are calling me an outsider, I have been using what > became fedora for years before the first fedora > version was released, and have been using it almost every version since then. The question about your "background" was necessary because it becomes apparent that you comment on things as one who either doesn't know how things work at the Fedora Project (or how things are supposed to work) or you deliberately ignore it. You don't seem to care about project policies and guidelines, and you brush aside what's there as a base. You even ignore what different levels of maintenance are needed for different packages. > On the fedora side we should probably be directing anyone with > software bugs to upstream. Should? Probably? And you expect upstream to not be understaffed, especially not if being flooded with bug reports which may be distribution-specific? > Don't get me started about [...] Thread is closed for me. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
