Ok, here's some questions that pop into my mind. Note that they are not about whether or not to include mono, but rather the method in which it was included. 1) Why was there a rush to get it into test2? It seems to me that it introduces a bit of instability into a distro that is suppose to be stablizing between test releases. Could this have waited until FC6? 2) Why did it go into Core as opposed to Extras? We're normally trying to move things out of Core. If you want to make an argument about keeping Mono itself in Core, I'm sure folks will listen. But why do beagle, f-spot, etc need to be in Core? 3) Why all the hush-hush stuff and have it magically appear? I'm sure many would like to see an announcement about why it's ok to include now... josh -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
