[...] +1 to that -- if Fedora Extras one or two years ago would have wanted to switch something like koji or bodhi then I'd say FESCo would have looked at it first before Extras would have started to use it. FESCo further would have insisted on proper docs, clear rules (discussed by the community beforehand) and easy procedures. These days it seems to me some developers simply do some stuff(¹) (often without much FESCo involvement, not enough public discussion beforehand and insufficient rules or docs) and contributors have to deal with the outcome, if they like or not. Okay, we wanted the merge. I these days think we maybe did it to fast, as it and all the new tools created a lot of confusion and burden on the contributors. But okay, we are merged now, and it has lots of benefits afaics. So lets deal with it now -- for example by making "contributing to Fedora easy again, get the community involved better into the decisions process and make packagers happy again" one of the most important "Features" for Fedora 8. Otherwise the merge might fail in the end. Just my 2 cent.
