If a particular maintainer has those concerns he can raise them without having this veto power. This makes an unneeded assymetry between a primary maintainer and somebody who would like to do a compat package. There is no reason why a primary maintainer would be smarter than somebody wanting a compat package. -- Pat -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
