These topics are being discussed on 'fedora-devel-list'

Why can't they also be passed on to fedora-list?

This according to the main page is where the discussions

are more users and more discussions/rants/etc.

Thanks for the info,

We dont really need rants. If there is constructive feedback on Fedora 
development and the changes proposed fedora-devel list is suitable for 
that. Fedora-list is for end user discussions.
