Do you want to beat us in the morning or evening or just both times so you can work out your frustrations on how badly we do stuff? Stephen, I respect your read and interpretation of what is written by Neal above. I also understand your lived experience. I think what Neal is getting at is that we don't have any knowledge yet about how the services we are looking for others (not infra team members) to run will be managed. The current system is less than desirable and what Neal is referencing. It'd be great to get more detail about how we are enabling these apps to be run by others so we can see what is possible. regards, bex _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
