The infrastructure resource point was explicitly handled in the proposal. How can there be a proven set of producers and consumers if it doesn't exists yet? Proving that something is succesful before it is started This is a task that is impossible to achieve. Besides the reason was not that reason, the final decision was left to the board. Many people on FESCo didn't like the proposal for various reasons, including the Infrastructure resources, but it wasn't the official reason. In fact I have never heard back the board answer, but I prefer not knowing how the board refused it. There was also the joke about 'metrics', that are very difficult or impossible to set up in free software projects, and are especially not something in fedora -- nor EPEL. And that was a task to perform before another proposal in the past (UAEL) could be accepted. A way to say no in a authoritative way without saying it frankly. Honestly, I would have preferred an authoritative answer like 'we don't want because we don't want to devote a single resource to that', rather than lame excuses and unfair impossible prerequisite tasks. -- Pat -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
