So this discussion seems to have stalled. Tim and I are both ambivalent, and we got three responses that were positive but tentative or from 'interested parties' (no offence :>). Does anyone who doesn't have skin in the game have an opinion either way? It might be good to consider use cases too. One particular one is EC2: I've heard that EC2 guests are Xen instances but I'm not entirely sure about the details. Is this the case? i.e. if a Fedora release didn't boot in Xen would that make it unusable in EC2? That would certainly be a consideration. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
