I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt with regard to knowledge of a standardization initiative that I am not currently aware of. You've made some pretty firm accusations that we as a project are ignoring some sort of a longstanding cross-distro standardization effort with regard to rpm packaging. If such an effort exists that I'm am not aware of, this is your opportunity to educate me. If you succeed in squandering this opportunity, you've pretty much guaranteed that I'm going to tune you out in favor of spending my time as a board member listening and interacting with other people who have useful and constructive information which underlines their criticism. More than that in fact, if you squander this chance to education me, once I'm off the board I'll be an active detractor of every single proposal you put forward regardless of merit. -jef"the obove can be quickly translated as... vote for me in the next Board election or you'll be sorry"spaleta -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
