There are parts of Fedora infrastructure which are not using Fedora, but other distributions like RHEL. We seem to have not problem in using proprietary SAAS solutions for critical stuff. I truly envy Debian and their ability to dogfood, running their infra on Debian. With minor exception: although they self-host GitLab, it seems to be different than their distribution packages. -- Tomasz Torcz Only gods can safely risk perfection, tomek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx it's a dangerous thing for a man. — Alia _______________________________________________ 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
