I don't think high quality packaging for its own sake _should_ be the FPC's mission. It should be high quality packaging _for the sake of the Fedora mission, values, and objectives_. Otherwise, it should be the Something-Else Packaging Committee rather than Fedora Package Committee. And that's not to pick on FPC in particular -- all Fedora Subprojects should have the overall project's goals in mind. > But if FESCo or the board or whoever wants to say that we no longer > really care about bundling, then FPC will stop caring.
