Cough.. technically Fedora Extras doesn't actually exist yet either. I'm trying to make a distinction between what we have now.. with fedora.us with a distinctly seperate 3rd party development process from core, and what we are suppose to have inside the Fedora project officially. If people want to discuss what fedora.us can do or change in the near term fine, but i thought this thread was as aimed at mythical Red Hat managed 'Fedora Extras' I see no reason to ignore FA as a solution to problems with FE. FA is in the master plan, if Red Hat isn't serious about providing the infrastrcture for FA as well as FE then remove FA from the skeleton plan and I'll stop pointing to it. > P.S.

You mean updated somewhere else and the description on the page isn't representitive of the latest thinking? I'd call the current definition on the page...verbose..but not necessarily detailed. Tiemann had Alternatives in his Collections straw man, but I don't think we can call Tiemann's drug induced vision of the future the official delusionary worldview yet. -jef"no really this is my last post to the thread... i swear"spaleta
