For a practical example of the timescale of this "process" as things
have been so far: opt-in install-time macro-expansion of scriptlets
was implemented upstream in March 2010 and has been in Fedora since
F15. Yet this relatively trivial thing *still* cannot be actually used
in any version of Fedora, and nobody knows (or would not be allowed to
say) when RHEL+1 comes out, so after 3.5 years from implementing the
stupid thing, we're only at step 4) with an unknown (but in any case
lengthy) time before being anywhere near 7).
Reading such great news, Panu, would you mind to prepare list of
features we could start using in next Fedoras?
All in good time...
First we need to see this change actually go through all the way and
stick. Secondly there isn't a whole lot of such features right now, as
efforts have been concentrated on improving the existing, usable
features rather than implementing new things because of the insane
deployment "process". Finally, the use of such features within Fedora
needs to be sanctioned by FPC and that's by no means guaranteed to
happen (eg tilde-versioning was explicitly banned although it actually
could already be used).
