In packaging there are less synergies. But I agree that a small set of contributors can do a great work. I personnally wanted that volunteered based project to exist, but it doesn't change the fact that there is no trust, in that there is nothing to force volunteers to do their work. I think that, even without obligation there is room for such project that's why I proposed it, but it can only be judged and trusted after the fact, not before. -- Pat -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
