It's worth pointing out that they're positive examples to the developers using them. They want to work on their applications and not have to fight against the distro's versions. And those developers are particularly the ones being targeted with containerized apps. So equating the two in a positive light probably isn't a bad idea. Those developers care about their apps. They don't care about the distros. Maybe just phrase it as "this is like pip and gem, but without the conflict headaches." josh -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
