Sure, RHEL is distinct from Fedora, and they make different decisions, etc. The original point still stands: it's puzzling that XFS may end up as the default in RHEL 7 when it has never been the default for even a single Fedora release. The "Fedora is RHEL beta" meme may be slightly off-base, but I would hardly call the meme st00pid. The meme persists so strongly because there's an element of truth to it. Besides, why else would Red Hat pour so much money into Fedora :) - Ken -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
