I haven't expected this situation, so I've read up a bit on the whole thing. From the outside it looks that the CPE team is trying since about a year to get rid of as many services as possible, due to having not enough resources to handle all. (I've only been looking at devel@ and blog posts, there is not much else I could find about the CPE team) The problem I think I see is, that there seems to be no option of giving away responsibilities - the only advances I see are either "we'll replace this with something we think is easier" or "lets turn it off". I see one exception: Fedocal, where this list has been asked, if someone wants to take over. Unfortunately that seems to be stuck due to bureaucracy. What I don't understand is, why a decision this big is not taken by FESCo (or Council) and the CentOS Governing Board itself. After all in the Blogpost about how the CPE team is planning to do things[1], it is stated: "Our intention is to run all of the apps through the Fedora Council first, in case the Council prefers any specific alternatives to a particular service or app." (I'm also not sure why the article states the Council directly, and not FESCo) It sure feels like the CPE is not bound by either FESCo, CentOS Governing Board or Fedora Council - this whole thing feels quite arbitrary. Maybe it would be wiser to consider this as a formal error and either re-do the decision process or hand the decision off to the Fedora Council and the CentOS Governing Board (maybe as a joint decision?)
