Drafts are discussed by the packaging committee and may, after ratification by FESCo, be written into the packaging guidelines. All of the packaging guidelines exist in the Packaging namespace on the wiki. Any other page in the wiki may be the policy of some other SIG or committee, but is not an official Fedora packaging guideline. That isn't to say that such pages aren't useful. They provide useful points for discussion. There's simply no filter on them to ensure that they are balanced, reasonable or remotely sane.

The situation is analogous to the absence of American federal legislation regulating the acceptable colors used to paint bike sheds. - J< -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
