Well, for the FPC, high quality packaging is pretty much our only
mission. I'm trying to avoid veering off into hyperbole here, but
if we
can't be focused on our specific mission then that kind of
complicates
our job.
But if FESCo or the board or whoever wants to say that we no longer
really care about bundling, then FPC will stop caring. Right now
we've
been told to care about bundling and so we developed all of this
process
and rules to implement that directive.
Right, so that's basically the point of this thread. It's time to
decide if we as the Fedora Community still care enough to go through
all that process. I didn't want to just have one group (FESCo)
deciding something of that import without bringing it to the community
for discussion first.
Also, please understand that this isn't an indictment of the work you
did. Under the mission you were given, you came up with a set of
policies that generally worked. It's just time to figure out if we
still need them.
