We followed the procedures that were outlined to us.
So you think "just following procedures" makes it all right and gives
you mandate to continuing to pursue a decision that the community is
telling you was wrong despite your following procedures?

We have nothing to do with zuul and Gitlab CI may be made available as
a service if folks want to use it.
It's not just about CI. You only commented about the least significant
point of the above paragraph and ignored the rest. That seems to be the
pattern with your communication. Please change that.

We are.
That's not the impression you are giving here.

We are not forcing a decision. We are still engaged with the Fedora
Council on next steps and factoring in the requirements of the
community. Right now, our wider needs are saying we cannot support
Pagure and we intend on replacing that with Gitlab from a CPE
perspective.
You are forcing a decision because you're refusing to revisit the
decision you have made *for* the community without the engagement that
the community feels was required. If you had stopped at the first
objections and revisited the decision making process with the rest of
the community involved in an open manner, you would have been forgiven,
because everyone here is trying to assume good faith. Alas, you haven't
done that. Apologizing for your mistakes is a necessary step, but it's
not sufficient.

There should be a science of discontent. People need hard times and
oppression to develop psychic muscles.
