Anything involving how RHEL is put together is complete and utterly out of the control of Fedora governance. Even as a fedora board member I have zero impact on how RHEL is put together and positioned, so even at the board level I cannot plan to know which Fedora is actually the base for RHEL, nor can I drive any decision making there. Though I will say, that if I had the opportunity to be at the next Fudcon which is coordinated with the next Red Hat Summit and would be making it a point to talk to existing RHEL customers wandering around and asking them exactly how they feel about where and how they'd like to see RHEL and Fedora better aligned. Because at the end of the day, RHEL customers have to champion RHEL-Fedora interactions. But unfortunately it looks live I've got a conflict of commitments that week, another conference for my dayjob that I probably will be attending. And I am very very wary about relying on re-consuming CentOS materials just to make it easier for ourselves to their detriment. From the outside looking in, CentOS appears to have reach critical mass, and has momentum. I really don't want to disrupt that. I'd like to build more bridges with them, but not for the sake of pillaging them. In fact I'd welcome any offline ideas from prominent CentOS members concerning how Fedora can better work with them. > In some cases you might need to re-enable some features removed in RHEL > (as CentosPlus does with the kernel) but the changes should all be > pretty obvious to someone with both source packages.

Anything like this, would really only make sense if we started sharing build infrastructure. I don't think our relationship with CentOS is strong enough for that to be a possibility. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
