In the GNOME case, you were willing to throw away Bugzilla, CGit, and older CI infrastructure to replace it with GitLab. You guys also renamed some of your repositories to accommodate the restrictions on project naming by GitLab. A lot of retooling was required as part of the transition to GitLab for GNOME. That, by my definition, is throwing away everything. It had knock on effects for everyone downstream as well, as all the tools for tracking GNOME also broke and needed to change. Again, that's fine if the community is generally accepting of this pain, but it is still pain, even if you refuse to acknowledge it. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ 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
