It seems to me we've forged ahead Hoo boy, just when the thread was quieting down... I'm still slightly out of sync with the fedora.next stuff (REALLY picked a bad time to go on vacation), but it does seem to me that a decent amount of 'mature reflection' was done on it before it was approved, at least. And it does not appear to be irreversible at this point: we are still only at the point where a bunch of WGs are going away to come up with proposals for FESCo's review, yes? FESCo could ultimately still decide to shoot down the whole thing, or demand major changes, or delay it for any given amount of time? As I read the process, we are not irreversibly committed to any practical changes to any Fedora product at this point. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
