Even by your own reasoning, lots of people certainly care in the context of the release after the current one. However even the period between major RHEL releases is important in terms of Fedora and RHEL. > Looking on the graph on the wiki I think that EL8 will be released > more likely within 2 years if not three. > > Effectively Fedora has not to much from relation with RH *between* > major EL releases in form of straight contribution to Fedora constant We can argue all day about whether or not this is reality (I would contest that it isn't), but let's step back for a second. If that is the mentality people are taking when approaching the Fedora and RHEL relationship, on either side of the fence, that is a *problem*. Fedora and RHEL are symbiotic, and I would strongly argue that we need to strengthen that relationship if anything. Without doing that, Fedora loses relevance to its primary sponsor and RHEL loses the ability to derive benefit from Fedora. The benefit goes beyond spec files and patches. josh _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
