Flame away! <SNIP> I would like to first say that I think this is a great idea and a solid solution to the problem at hand. I would like, however, to bring up a point of approach. This appears to be a rather heavy handed technical problem that has been solved, decided upon, and declared to be "how it is and how it will be for Fedora 15." I am perfectly fine with this from the point of the solution because I agree with the sentiments expressed. Now, I have to ask: "Was FESCo involved in this decision?" and if so, where is the Trac ticket, or mention in the meeting minutes? Again, I'm not against that this is being done, but I would like to see everyone equally follow suit on the way things are traditionally done in Fedora land. -AdamM -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
