[snip] Uh...wow. So, Leigh was correct, and the F/OSS and self-hosting requirements are entirely removed from this list. Not adjusted or de-emphasized or given nuance, but simply removed entirely. I highly dispute the idea that the removal of the F/OSS requirement could be "reconstructed" from that initial list plus the discussion at https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/thread/OEPDGVKYAJIQ6YYZU5J3XT3LHXFROFI5/ . I do not believe that is the case at all. Matthew's comment is confusing and ambiguous, and there was no follow-up to it (at least, not the F/OSS part of it), and it seems extremely questionable to me that we would remove such a fundamental requirement based solely on one confused comment from Matthew. He is the FPL, he is not the Pope. The end result of this is that we (Fedora) have somehow indicated to CPE that we have no preference whatsoever for F/OSS tooling. I do not believe that should have been the case. The self-hosting requirement at least Matthew was more clear in opining should be removed, but it is still surprising to me that the process here went "gather a list of requirements from the community, then if Matt says he disagrees with one, take it out immediately but don't tell anyone you did that"! (also I'll note that his substitute requirement that out-migration be easy does not appear to be captured in the final list, although it seems this probably *is* the case with Gitlab so we don't have a problem there.) One thing I'll note here: this is *exactly* the kind of thing that would have come to light very quickly if the open process which was committed to at the start had actually been followed through on. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ 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
