Fedora-packaging was a list space tossed up to discuss/create an authoritative packaging guideline for Core/Extras/Legacy/etc.. Again, smaller the number of participants w/ stakes the faster decisions can be made and implemented. Not all the maintainers are interested in such discussion, so why add noise? A lot of maintainers just want a guideline to be created, so they can follow it. Different topics. Personally, I like that the lists for Fedora are being clearly segregated. This allows me to keep better track of the subjects I actually care about by subscribing only to those lists. Big general lists mean that I have to sift through tons of email I care not about to find (and usually miss) something I DO care about. -- Jesse Keating RHCE (geek.j2solutions.net) Fedora Legacy Team (www.fedoralegacy.org) GPG Public Key (geek.j2solutions.net/jkeating.j2solutions.pub) Was I helpful?
