Aleksandra didn't say at any time that only conditionals would be accepted. (Indeed, she recommended that the ideal situation is for us to avoid conditionals where possible and instead use Recommends: for things that are not strict requirements. This would benefit Fedora as well, since people could trim their installs down to their needs.) > > And again, if you make it easier for downstream to work with Fedora, > > you give downstream the reasons to bring their resources.

She said that maintainers who are already doing this work internally to Red Hat would have an opportunity (and encouragement from their employer) to move that work to Fedora instead, so that the wider community can take advantage. _______________________________________________ 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
