Re: Changes needed in the development of the RNs
It was brought up on IRC that it is hard for us to keep track of what
packages have been removed from the repos, and getting dev's and
packagers to let us know when this happens would more then likely not
end in much success. Everyone is busy work on things and this would
just be another task (not to mention I would imagine that a lot of the
packages that get removed are orphaned).
The best solution that I brought up is to use Bohdi to proved this
information, and instead of adding this information to the RN, we
could put it on a dynamic webpage. I also think that the Fedora
Community section would be the best place for it because the system is
already setup to interact with Fedora's infrastructure. The issue with
this would be making sure the page was publicly accessible (not
needing a FAS account). I don't believe it would be an issue but its
something we would need to talk to someone about before hand.

First, let me say what an awesome job John (jjmcd) and others have been
doing on the Release Notes. We continue to get kudos from the readers
out there, which is most awesome.
Earlier today we did get a bit of "I wish I could have seen X in your
RNs"[1]. The requester's problem is not that we didn't talk about the
new backup solution but rather we didn't talk about the fact that the
old solution went away.
What I envision is a categorical representation of changes. This means,
in this case, that the default backup solution for Fedora changed. We
should not only document the change but also talk about what's going to
happen to the previous default and maybe a migration path.
This is going to take better communication with developers and probably
RELENG. I'm open to ideas, though!
