It's interesting...but if i'm reading the post correctly, he's basically sacrificed the ability to receive system updates...that has consequences. Consequences we as a project might not officially want to endorse. Now maybe he and a few other people can support pushing update images instead of individual packages or something to deal with updates. But a solution like that would classified as a derived distribution. Can we make room for that sort of community effort under the larger Fedora Project? The people who want to do this, they may need to provide their own hosting and image compose iron. We may not be able to put existing project resources towards it. On a brighter note, the new trademark guidelines may adequately cover this sort of thing so they can use our branding without additional hassle in the same way that the Fedora Unity guys are going to get to use the trademark for their re-spins under the new trademark guidelines. I wonder if the Fedora Unity guys would be interested in working with him in terms of hosting and composing infrastructure for the concept. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
