To the set of packagers/developers 'who are hostile' it means working on the cutting edge to bleeding edge software and not having to spend time on things which are old. If they wanted to work on older stuff they would do so in CentOS/RHEL/Debian space. This really isn't a new thing. We have had some version of this conversation even back when Fedora was Red Hat Linux and people wanted to know why Red Hat had dropped something which had worked perfectly well in 4.2 for some newer thing they didn't want. This is my last email on this because we have pretty much said everything once again. -- Stephen J Smoogen. _______________________________________________ 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
