So although this update clarifies some part, we have not moved anywhere: ~~~ === Can we do this in a branch instead of in master? === This adds no value to the current approach where Red Hat maintainers would manually merge their changes into the internal build infrastructure. There's no way to automate the sync from the `master` branch to the `eln` branch that wouldn't break and require maintainer involvement. Attempting to branch only individual packages would introduce significant complexity in the build process as well, leading to far more opportunity for bugs. Lastly, even the most diligent of maintainers can forget to sync every change to a new branch, thus leaving us in a situation where the `eln` branch has fallen behind and is no longer providing an accurate view of whether the package is still building or functioning in that environment. ~~~ I wonder where this comes from. I am participating in this thread, representing Ruby maintainers in RHEL and Fedora, in other places of the thread, I see Miro Hrončok, Tomáš Orsava and Pert Viktorin representing Python RHEL and Fedora maitainers, as well as Petr Písař, the RHEL and Fedora representative of Perl. All in all, it represents ~1/2 packages in Fedora/RHEL. I hope that I can say that these people shares a view that branch, fork, PR is the way to go. Yet we are not able to convince you. So I wonder who this proposal actually represents? Who is the target audience? Who are the Red Hat maintainers you mentioned in the proposal?
