It's not clear to me how much they're supposed to be a part of the normal Fedora release process and how much they exist in their own world because of the different nature of the distribution model. To be clear, I don't blame those teams for this, I have been content the last 21 months to make that Future Ben's problem. Oh look, Future Ben has entered the chat. :-) For IoT, I can't make that claim because I show up in their meetings most week to pester Peter about things. But even then, I've generally been more reactive than proactive because it's also a different beast (in some similar and also different ways). I know Adam is not looking to single out anyone for blame, but I am stepping forward to claim my share. In my experience, things that happen rarely in Fedora can fall into one of two buckets: 1. Subject to an over-engineered policy that will never be tested in any great depth 2. Have a loose, hand-wavy policy that proves entirely insufficient This is clearly an instance of the second bucket. Fedora.next was a great model, but we didn't carry it forward. That may be in part because we've had two (three?) changes of Program Manager since it became a thing and knowledge was lost in the multiple transfers. Independently of this issue, I've been slowly working to improve the documentation so that my successor will not have to count on me to remember to tell them things. But to the matter at hand, as we discussed in the Release Readiness meeting last week, I will review the historical documentation and see what I can do to improve the bureaucracy. It may be too late to do much about the existing emerging editions beyond reacting to the gaps as we find them, but we can at least make it better for the next round. I won't say any more now because I have nothing useful to contribute yet. I would love to see the discussion continue on this over the next few weeks. -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Senior Program Manager, Fedora & CentOS Stream Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-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/desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
