When there are more than one group trying to modify the behavior of a package, or asking the maintainer to change it in some way, and these modifications conflict with eachother, how is the maintainer to decide? How is FESCo to decide if it is brought to them for moderation? How is the board to decide if it gets escalated up to that level? When viewing these discussions what strikes me is that none of it really applies until you have conflict. Without conflict there is no reason to worry, but when there is conflict, some general help in deciding who gets the change and who doesn't is welcome. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
