All we can do is figure out the best way to work with jpackage and our own user base. My vision is an infrastructure set that allows Fedora contributors to easily push/pull content from jpackage infrastructure and vice versa so that having the full jpackage set in Fedora is a possibility and getting things that are submitted purely to Fedora over into jpackage easily as well. The fact that we're arguing over a few characters in a release string instead of something far more fundamental is probably a good thing. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature!
