Re: fedora core 3 goals.

Here's my take on the situation. Please note that I'm not a decision 
maker of any sort with Fedora and that nothing I say should be taken as 
official...

We want to open up CVS as soon as possible. Turns out that setting up a 
build system for FC that is open to outside contributors is non-trivial. 
For example, we need a system for preventing security-embargoed patches 
from appearing in the public tree until the embargo is lifted.

Anyway, Gafton, who is a hard-core 3l33t hax0r d00d, has been working 
hard on this problem with others.

I believe whether or not SELinux will be enabled by default is a 
decision we will not be making until we have a better sense of its 
stability in FC3. (So if you want it on, madly test FC2 with SELinux! :-).

We have a dedicated team in place, but their first priority (I believe) 
is the opening up of CVS.

Agreed.
