The universe of Fedora development doesn't revolve around you. Development involves a fair amount of group consensus, but as in any meritocracy -- people are more likely to have their opinions valued and listened to when they're willing to take an active role in the process, rather than playing Monday-morning quarterback (an American term, sorry) or complaining about things after the fact. > the currently active bugs has to be fixed instead remove > capabilities at all Who died and put you in charge of the anaconda team? Do they now answer to you? Making demands like this is more likely to get you ignored than to have a positive effect. How about rather than demanding (or trying to project your own views on the team's motives), you take a more active role in submitting bug patches or helping out in some other positive way? I've had the opportunity to rub shoulders with many of the people on the anaconda team over the past couple of years, and I've never once heard any of them suggest that they want to remove capabilities and not fix bugs. I understand that sometimes features or capabilities change (the change in btrfs support in the F17 installer as a hot-button example), but I don't ascribe any malice or ill-intent to the anaconda team for making that change. I also know that the anaconda team has a vision for how they'd like anaconda to evolve. I could guess (based on your past mailing list posts) that you don't want any fundamental shifts in the way anaconda works, but I'd rather not guess as to your wants or desires either. The reality is that anaconda is in the middle of a major rewrite, and there are going to be quite a few changes before things are done. If you're serious about making anaconda better and are willing to work to help on it, I'm sure the anaconda team would appreciate your help. Otherwise, please try to be patient with changes and imperfections as they work through the rewrite. I can assure you that they're trying their hardest to find the right balance of time between fixing bugs in the older code and writing new code. Again, I'm sorry to have to put this so bluntly, but I feel it needed to be said. -- Jared Smith -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
