What I was attempting to say in the first place was this: "It's not clear to me that this proposal has the blessing of the Workstation WG or Spins. I'm not willing to *assert* that they must do this work without hearing whether they are willing and have capacity to do so." I think I phrased this poorly initially. What I would like is just to have a statement added to the Change Proposal that "Workstation WG and the maintainers of Spins Foo, Bar and Baz are willing to make this the default if this Change Proposal is accepted." I just didn't want anyone getting *dictated* at without their input. _______________________________________________ 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
