how do you come to that weird conclusion?
surely, one can say "not my package, not my problem" but that's
ignorant and needs no guidelines and policies - sanity should be enough
I guess you did not grasp I was referring to the ownership model of
components in the distribution which are irrelevant to guidelines and
policy's.
The fact is the distribution has been using the ownership model since
it's interception which means one to one mapping from a component to an
individual.
As such the thought process of "I take care of what I own has" been
breed into maintainers for the past ten years.
There have been several cases where the community has explode due to
"lack of communications" as an result of that with the most notorious of
those being the Gnome half of the Red Hat's desktop team where more
often than not they have broken bits for other *DE's that have been
sharing underlying components in the distribution. ( search this lists
archives if you need proof of that )
On top of that there are around 15k components in the distribution and
expecting all maintainers to be able to keep tabs on all packager
relations ( to their own or in general ) is ignant or expect them to
does so for a single fedora-release rpm after the distribution has been
split up again into core ( products ) and extra ( the inferior rest )
where the inevitale outcome is for those products eventually start
shipping their own fedora release package...
If the PLL had thought though these thing thoroughly through he would
have realized that.
