I'm still not sure why this discussion is going on here...at the distribution level. Individual major projects will have to buy into this to be useful. The distribution maintainers is not going to be able to dictate to individual projects how to craft configuration schemes. Are there on going discussions upstream inside major component projects like xorg or apache about this approach? If this isn't being discussed seriously by large projects developers with large obnoxious configuration files, I don't see the point in discussing this as part of ongoing general Fedora development discussion. If you expect Fedora to provide an Electra based configuration for something like xorg in Core, without upstream xorg buying into it...you're nuts. -jef"<kids in the hall>9 out of 10 helen's agree.. nothing beats a good pair of shoes</kids in the hall>"spaleta
