This is something we as a community need to crack down on. Specific lists were set up for specific tasks. Unless we want all the developers and Red Hat folk to run back to internal hidden lists where they are free from the "2 second questions" that are not related to Fedora Core development, we need to keep on topic on this list and stress this to others that stray. > > I personally don't use 70% of the drivers supplied in the kernel, or > > maybe 40% of the packages in FC, but I realize other people do use and > > appreciate it being there. > > Yeah again you miss the point. Actually you both kind of do. Warren somewhat misread your comments when you stated that other people wouldn't want to hear. He thought you meant that ipv6 should be removed to service these other people, while you thought that other people would want to hear the answer. Other people can hear the answer in fedora-list or fedora-test (depending on if you're using a released kernel or a test/development kernel). Issues regarding mainline Fedora and the future/current development of upstream Fedora Core is the topic of this list, not personal customization of Fedora. > Maybe it is because when they ask a legitimate question you send them > away? Legitimate questions are addressed. Off-topic posts will be redirected. Hopefully most don't react the way that you do, but it is an unfortunate side effect of trying to straighten out the lists. > All I asked was if it was safe for me to remove IPv6 from latest test > kernel, I don't see how asking a question about development kernel is > suited for the fedora-list... If it is a development or test kernel, direct your attention to fedora-test. If it is an issue you wish to address for upstream Fedora, by all means bring it up here. What you ask may seem very important to you and your install, others may find it important to their install, Fedora developers do not find it important to upstream Fedora. Please don't take offense to topic redirection, as you can see things will quickly get out of hand. > You just told me in your previous e-mail to use the fedora-list when I > clearly stated I was talking about a development kernel.

What may seem like a simple question spawns a long discussion that is off topic. Many such noise threads start here and spew into never ending noise that drives off valid and proper discussion. Was the question simple? Yes.... in a ways. Was it on topic? No. Did it spawn even further discussion on the subject which is even further off topic? Yes, and probably will so for at least another few days. Please don't take offense and help us redirect discussion to their proper locations. Yes I know the documentation is horrible for what subjects go to which lists, so please bear that in mind when you get redirected, or when you redirect somebody else.
