Re: CentOS Stream, RHEL, and Fedora [was Re: What is Fedora?]

Matthew,

Thanks for sending this out. There is a lot of FUD right now and this plan is what I had hoped was going on. The FPO/RH/IBM should do some additional community engagement to clear this up. A very clear diagram of the development/packaging flow would go a long way and give the community a simple artifact to share in place of all of the FUD.

I was worried after reading some of the misinformation/misunderstanding. I was getting concerned we'd have to start up FUDCons again and fork the project. Thankfully, that does not at all seem to be the case.

Cheers,

Matthew, this is a great summary and also the understanding I currently have. It might be a good thing if this information lives in a more permanent place that I can refer people to. Perhaps something on Fedora's documentation about the Enterprise Linux ecosystem or a blogpost on either the Fedora or RedHat blogs?

Regards,

Simon
