Now I am not in the "told you so" department, but it unfolds as I expected. Not much we can do now without harming either Fedora or Zarafa.
Harm? This sounds dramatized. Fedora is in the press with zarafa as a feature - and we disussed pro and contra already a lot.
It is easy to oppose and disagree on new contributions - i know that it is part of your job at Red Hat to be a "pain" to non-FOSS Vendors ;) - but Fedora is about enable and encourage people to contribute and i want to see that Press, Users, - the world - get the right message - i already explained in detail why it is good that a community driven feature should advertised [1]
Clarification and truth have nothing to do with harming - it is about enlighten them and evangelize them to spread it right. We talk about FOSS Software here and it seems Paul clarified things already to the author.
