In any case: "destroy users workload" In my understanding: 1. You're really angry (aka "destroy": wtf!) 2. I have a totally different view 3.

In any case, we can also turn this into a offlist flamewar if you want. -- Regards, Olav -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
