There are many examples; to take just one, think of SELinux, where we ended up with a "targeted" policy, saying we'll concentrate on this specific set of services If you want a more tractable, incremental problem to take on that would get us closer to what you want, consolidating project hosting would be a good start. For example, I'm very much against developers hosting projects on e.g. some old Trac instance on their personal vserver, for many reasons, among them that if at some later time they get bored or whatever, the server goes down and with it a lot of useful data. If we could consolidate hosting down to just say Sourceforge, Google Code, Launchpad, Fedora hosted, etc. we'd have a much more manageable set of bug trackers (and project metadata APIs) to work with, and making some sort of bug tracking aggregator becomes a much more manageable problem. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
