I can see both sides of the argument that has proceeded from this policy, but as a data point: if my personal inclinations are any indication, I would say this policy will likely have a freezing effect on contributions to Fedora if fully adopted. I do intend to get involved in packaging a few things for Fedora in future, but I certainly don't intend to go to the trouble of carrying patches to remove flags for eternity, so I would just not consider packaging any software which included proscribed images (and would immediately orphan any package I maintained if any proscribed images were added to it, or if someone pointed out that it had some that I'd missed). -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
