I understand the sentiment but would like to tweak it a bit. Rather than a tooling project, Fedora is an _integration_ project. We bring together all of this software in the world and create polished solutions for users, and we make it easy for community members with specific ideas, and our downstreams, to do the same. That necessarily requires tooling, but tooling isn't the heart of the project. It's okay for us to be the integrator of tooling rather than the owner and creator of it all. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ 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
