It won't be the first time we dumped an email client (we've dropped nmh, exmh, elm, ...) before. > Guys, Red Hat has been pushing Evo for a _long_ time now.

The question is whether Evolution is fixable in a sane timescale and whether it is fit to ship in FC5. I would put a 50/50 bet on a serious security flaw in evolution during FC5. Now how are we going to fix it ? > without thinking a bit about consequences.

Its a development project to produce leading edge stuff. It isn't a business product. Even if a future Red Hat Enterprise product dropped Evolutuion, or evolution imploded fatally upstream as appears quite possible there is already a commitment to support it on the existing enterprise product and if it was considered for dropping in a future product that would be the kind of thing that had a long long notice period and be subject to user views. Fedora we can do things that are technically right, or throw the ideas around for discussion and a chance to ask "what are the alternatives". RHEL has many other constraints.
