But it would be nice to know >who made the decisions, and the reasons they made them. The Fedora Core Technical Committee made the decisions. That's Cristian Gafton, Jeremy Katz, Elliot Lee and Bill Nottingham. I know you're unlikely to accept this but could we go with 'b/c these guys have been doing this for a long time so trust them'. Hell, I'm unlikely to accept this but despite what most people think - fedora is not a place where everyone's opinion is equal. The opinions of specific people at red hat count for a lot more. Right now the process is such that getting more say in fedora means doing more work. How do you go about doing more work you ask? Step up, and genuinely offer, you'll find plenty to do. -sv
