Congratulations :) Seriously, while I'm sure everyone appreciates the amount of work you do for Fedora a lot, I don't think having a single individual maintain anywhere near 200 packages serves either any individual's or the project's interests. I used to maintain easily over 100 in Fedora and elsewhere before coming to the same conclusion as you above. It's better to know fewer packages really well than to maintain as many as one can, there's no urgent need to raise raw number of packages in Fedora just for the sake of having them in the repo. I think everyone who has more than few tens of packages packages under his belt should seriously consider finding someone else to take care of the extra ones and possibly use the time freed by that to get to know the remaining packages better unless it's taken by something else. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
