As long as there is no guarantees and no promises for the active repositories I think that it doesn't make sense to say that it is different for older repos. And I don't think that the fedora extras people should make guarantees and promises, but build up infrastructures and institutions that allows to keep a high level of quality. In the end it will be up to the maintainers anyway. This is still the issue of group maintainership, bug responsivness (including forced/auto orphaning, forced co-maintainership), but I still think that it has nothing to do with different promises we should do for different repositories: no promise anywhere is the best in my opinion, anything else isn't realistic and put unneeded constraints on packagers and users (but I am beginning to repeat myself...). -- Pat -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
