Neither of those are part of the Feature process. > Didn't FESCo explicitly vote that spins are not features? I didn't > see them reverse that decision. Besides what makes "desktop" and KDE > variants not spins? FESCo may have at one time, however it was ill advised. Releng and the SPINS sig want them to be features, and I'll use my powers in FESCo now and the board as well if necessary to push that agenda. Desktop and KDE are not "spins" because they are produced and qa'd as part of the rest of the distribution like the Fedora spin. They are in essence the non-contrib part. The board or FESCo could at some point change what we produce as those images, in which case Desktop or KDE would revert to a "spin" and thus go through that process and the Feature process. Features help us determine what is expected to work for a release, which drives many things like QA plans, schedules, marketing, etc... Knowing what spins to expect is very very important. There isn't always going to be somebody to pick up the slack if a spin owner moves on, we don't want to be creating these things in perpetuity if the owner isn't around, testing it, fixing it, etc... -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature!
