I'm thoroughly behind this. I think an unbundling SIG is a far better solution to the bundling problem than the high barrier-to-entry and poor-enforcement solution that we had previously. Having a group of motivated and knowledgeable individuals focused on removing unnecessary bundling would be far more likely to result in secure *and* usable software. I'd be more than happy to participate in such a SIG as time allows. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEARECAAYFAlYX1okACgkQeiVVYja6o6NCNQCeJuKCg8nfAfZqSpLJF8S7iAAo 8OsAn06GUVmHzz8qf8XdCxS8yO2Sxq3U =uVJd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
