I have to disagree with you here. Although this discussion is between only a few people, it is relevant and important to Fedora. The question of where Fedora stands with respect to the inclusion of unfree software is of key importance; indeed, I might be convinced that nothing is more important. Unlike discussion of particular packages and particular technical issues, this affects everyone and goes to the core of why I'm here, and why Fedora is worth the effort. I agree that analogies with guns and death don't help anyone, though. Andrew. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
