I find it odd that we can have a tool with a name (Copr) that is officially part of the Fedora project and a tool without a name (containerized apps) that doesn't even exit yet that both solve similar issues and can be used in similar ways and somehow have the name being the only thing that makes it acceptable. So if we call containerized apps "Appers" and host it somewhere on Fedora infrastructure and tell people about it, you'd be totally OK with that? People seem to already be jumping to conclusions that Appers are going to somehow magically be THE WAY we deliver software, but yet nobody had the same thoughts around Coprs. The blinders involved here are pretty large. These things are tools. They aren't the end-all-be-all solution to software delivery. I just wish people would calm down and stop wasting so much energy fighting against something on grounds that aren't even with existing tools and before anyone even sees what it looks like. josh -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
