However, it will be a crutch that will go away at some point when we rewrite the scripts to grab something else. So, if we commit code to use this, please only use it for legacy apps and please, open a bug[1]_ to let us know we have to rewrite your app. The reasons I want to deprecate owners.list are: 1) I can't think of anything that needs the complete information in owners.list. Bugzilla is the only thing that uses the summary and qacontact, for instance. 2) The PackageDB allows for finer grained information than owners.list. We can divide up packages by release version rather than just release (FC-6 is distinct from F-7). This is not going to be apparent at first as we're starting with the data from owners.list but it will become more relevant over time. 3) Many scripts need information targeted at a specific package but will be downloading all of owners.list instead of pulling the relatively small amount of data they need. _[1]: https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/packagedb/newticket -Toshio
