We distribute under the clause that says if we offer binaries, we have to offer source with them. This gives us the ability to remove binary and source packages at will, because when we stop offering the binary, we can stop offering the source. This is why the kernel rpm having binaries with no matching source in the kernel srpm is a problem for us. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
