Well, we _have_ some stated fundamental principles, and Freedom is one of them, while "de-bundle software!" actually isn't. In fact, as Stephen suggests in the initial message, debundling is often in conflict with Features and First. That said, I do recognize that "provides high-quality packages" has also always been an underlying Fedora value even if unstated. But, I think that _that_ value should be in support of the Big Four, and in support of our mission in general, not a sacred beast for its own sake. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
