That's easy for you to say. You get paid to work on linux and/or fedora/rhel for a living. You have all day to work on it. If fedora is intended to have community involvement you have to remember that there are many of us who are doing this outside of our real job. Remember, fedora is for hobbyists. But if hobbyists cannot participate in development b/c the cycle is just too fast, well then it's not too terribly useful for us, is it. -sv -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
