I did no have anything to add. I do understand your point and I agree with it partly. I normally do not ack on every email that I agree with. We are not pushing the RHEL Betas by mentioning it on the wiki, are we ? You did not say we should not mention it. Other people replied favorably. I indicated on the wiki that you needed a RHN entitlement to be able to download it (which is what I think Tim wanted) so how is that pushing ? And yes I contacted Red Hat via 3 different people and I am awaiting feedback. One person pushed it internally within Red Hat. The problem here is that you are strongly against it while at least 2 people were favorable. And that you removed my changes with a question through the wiki comments that I could have answered by email. I have no problem to discuss it, or change it, or move it to another part, or even remove if completely. But I do object to the communication-by-wiki style. And I do object to the fact that if you disagree with something it seems to be the law. That is why I put it back and answered your question where it was asked, through the wiki comments. -- -- dag wieers, dag@xxxxxxxxxx, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]
