I used that example because it allows to discuss about choices.

I personnally favour the openness to choice, but I am clearly not the only one to do such an important choice for fedora. It should be clear, however for fedora contributors what is acceptable. > > but keep talking on the organisational issues. > > So please take this *elsewhere*.

I think that what kind of packages are accepted in fedora is an important question for the fedora community. > All you have down here, Patrice, is to screw > up the SN ratio of this list even more.

In my opinion this is the list where the community members like me and you can voice their concerns. -- Pat -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
