Fedora is not the only distribution. Do you know how many distributions exist? From my point of view as a upstream it's one big NO. >From point of view of a Fedora packager, it's just moving Fedora bits into another repository with the burden of synchronizing that repository with dist-git (and back because of what an authoritative source for Fedora is). If you want to introduce an intermediary third repository between the upstream and the distribution, a repository that would normalize (read git-ify) the upstream and overlay downstream patches and metadata, then, ehm, it's a nice project for exploration how far we go with unification among the distributions. But I'm quite sceptical regarding it's adoption. But don't take my prognosis seriously. I can be mistaken. There are some positive prior arts like release-monitoring.org. -- Petr
