Wow, nice mixed metaphor. Package maintenance is not a person's private
domain; it's where we're signing up to maintain things as part of a
community *as a service to the users that use what we produce*. Now, people
do have different views on how some of these things may be handled, but the
goals of Fedora have never been to focus primarily on the convenience of the
packager - that's rather shortsighted.

The point is to ensure that the software we provide to *users* doesn't
contain security holes due to accident, intransigence, or other reasons.
