To me, it is obvious that the Workstation WG is in deliberate contempt of FESCo's decision. That alone ought to lead to sanctions from FESCo. In addition, FESCo's decision must be implemented properly by a security update ASAP. A wide-open firewall is a security issue. We CANNOT leave it unfixed. (For a precedent, where a deliberate security hole was forced to be closed in an update, see the Fedora 12 PackageKit policy fiasco: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2009-November/msg00926.html ) Kevin Kofler -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
