Kevin, it seems to me that open source is about working in community, and you want to short-circuit that again. You could work in community by: - respecting our Firefox maintainers' policies, and - respecting upstream by shepherding these patches through their review process If you (or whoever is interested) can't get those patches through the upstream review process for technical reasons, then perhaps they're ugly patches. If you can't get them through because of lack of time/energy/motivation, then the future maintenance of those patches is in question. Either way, it strengthens our Firefox maintainers' position that those patches shouldn't be accepted. It's easy to complain that people aren't bending the rules to your liking, and harder to actually work with them and get things done in a quality, sustainable way. -Chris -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
