(The more high-level comment.) This essentially explicitly gives up on the idea of "Fedora" or, implicitly, "Linux" as a "platform"^W/"deployment target"/"ecosystem" == "something you write applications for", and replaces it with, basically "the kernel+libc that other deployment targets/ecosystems can use to run". It gives up on "Fedora" or "Linux" as a general competitor to Windows; Fedora becomes "just one of the commodity systems one can run Rails 4.0.x/Rails 3.2.x/node.js/JBoss/GNOME OS on". We've been slowly and silently moving in the proposed direction of comparatively fragmented and independent ecosystems for some time, just because there wasn't a consensus on doing the opposite. We do have a choice of the direction, however. Should we, do we want to, (and even, can we at all) get this project on the same page behind a single coherent Fedora operating system (from the users' point of view) and deployment target / API (from the developers' point of view)? Or are we already "doomed" into supporting the fragmenting ecosystems best as we can? Mirek -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
