Sometimes RH has contracts for which a part of the payment depends on delivering certain functionality (eg packages) at certain dates, usually as part of a RHEL release. SOX then dictates that a company needs to be in full control and have an accurate record of the actual occurrence of this contractual event and the steps leading to it. So this includes authentication, record keeping, reproducability etc which for practical purposes need to tie into the other infrastructure at RH to be useful in this sense. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
