Also, you overestimate the burden of creating a spin. Aside from comps, kickstart definitions, and pungi config being done initially (which isn't too high to begin with either), the effort required to maintain a spin image is extremely low. A large chunk of our spins are essentially semi-automatic these days, and people don't really notice because at the end of the day, it's a bundle of things configured together. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- _______________________________________________ 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 Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
