What does that have to do with FESCO?

Again, what does that have to do with FESCO?

You seem to want to escalate issues with Fedora and it's governance as a whole
when all we're discussing at this point is Fedora Extras and how it should be
run.

Extras was around before either of those examples happened.  It's also the
largest community driven project within Fedora itself.  I believe (and I
could be mistaken here) that it is also the first official Fedora project
to be chaired by someone outside of Red Hat.(1)  My point is, Extras seems
to move along at it's own pace and the on-goings of how Red Hat is dealing
with things don't appear to have a large detrimental impact.

We're talking about how we, the Extras community, want to govern ourselves.
Leave Red Hat out of this discussion please.

(1) Jesse Keating is the chair of the Legacy project and was so before being
hired by Red Hat.  However I believe it got official Fedora project status
after Extras did.
