I think you missed Colin's point. I won't try to repeat what he said but I do urge you to reread his message. I'll try to be less subtle. Unless you want our project to be a pile of choose your own shit like debian, you need to make choices. The choices you need to make depend on what you want to produce. What you want to produce depends on who you are making it for and what you want them to experience. If you want to create a product that people will love to use then you need to make tough choices and stay focused. Without focus, Fedora doesn't stand a chance against Ubuntu - never mind the real competition. The right choices made for the right reasons, components deeply and broadly integrated, solidly engineered, well tested, highly polished. I'd prefer to hear the technology of Fedora described in these terms. Unfortunately, this is difficult or impossible to achieve with the currently prevailing bag-of-loosely-coupled-packages conception of the project. If you intend to be just some online package repository, a build system, a wiki, and mailing lists then sure things are working just fine. But to me, this is all so much asphalt without a place to go. Jon -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
