RHEL users and the timescales invovled there might be a valid concern, if the fedora package histories are deeply mingled with the RHEL package histories. If Red Hat packagers end up stripping items from fedora packages and them just needing to put the items back for rhel packages, that seems a bit wasteful concerning the small amount of data that has been quantified so far in this list. Depends on what Red Hat does internally as to whether chopping the changelogs in fedora will affect rhel users later on. -jef
