IMHO, FESCo should merely be trying to reflect the "rough consensus" of the rest of the community. e.g. in this example, a rough consensus is forming on the list along the lines of: 1) "force-tag" is used by a number of packagers for reasonably valid reasons that don't conflict with the tracking of what sources were used for a given build 2) We could disallow (on the server-side) re-tagging if a build has completed, or is in progress, using that tag 3) Or we could track the CVS/Entries for a given build FESCo need not play any role here beyond keeping an eye on the progress of this rough consensus - i.e. that the original change is being reverted and the relevant maintainers (and others) are hashing out the implementation of either suggestion. FESCo taking a position via a vote is not helpful, IMHO. Cheers, Mark. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
