Alan, Phil, John Please step away from the keyboard this weekend. Work on a stamp collection. exercise, talk without a TV or computer on with members of family or friends. This is NOT Fedora and snap decision land. This is CentOS, where our goal is a API upstream literal, trademark elided enterprise ready and enterprise lifespan product, with a differing approach on the updater. We do NOT have a place in our core mission for pushing the bleeding edge. I have no public knowledge as to Range's present whereabouts and personal circumstance, and if I had such, would not discuss them on a publicly archived mailing list. I would consider that to be a violation of his personal privacy. To the extent that he has chosen to update a limited access tracking mechanism which parts of the CentOS core team use, I would in no event discuss it. Not all questions need an immediate answer; artificial deadlines will not find a friend in me. I tried to say that gently earlier today as to my approach in discussing my email clearing goals. I saw the negative results of 'snap' IRC and overnight decisions with the old fedora.us -- I will not be a part of repeating that error. It does not hurt my feelings a bit to take a week, or a month, or a year to get to a correct answer, rather than to rush to error. -- Russ herrold
