But, I simply disagree that this is the winning long-term strategy, because the actual impact isn't that everything is merged into a perfect whole, but that the perfect whole is missing important pieces and everyone else is over doing something else where that stuff just works. This disagreement is a reasonable one, and I think it roughly falls into what is classically called "The Right Thing" vs. "Worse is Better". I think we agree that the same basic things are important, just disagree about their ordering. I think that the approach where we get things in and then work to improve them where possible is the one with better long term prospects. -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
