There no 'standard' by which to measure the value of change. If all distros are doing things differently you can't single us out for making a change that breaks cross-distro compatibility that doesn't already exist. The only thing you've pointed to so far is LSB... are you attempting to claim we are breaking LSB with this change? Things are already incompatible.. in a non-standardized way. By putting your foot down and demanding that we stop our own process to evolve you aren't solving the underlying problem. Stagnation is not standardization. No matter how we get their...cross-distro standardization is going to involve change in how each distro currently does things... so change is unavoidable no matter what happens. You are arguing for the wrong thing. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
