We try to make Fedora a welcoming environment, but it is also an engineering project, and engineers tend not to be fans of efficiency over unnecessary discussion. As I keep saying: you would get much more traction with your complaint if Chris' decision had been _wrong_. Since it's correct, I'm not sure anyone's going to see much of a problem with it. Correctness is highly valued in collaborative development communities like Fedora. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
