Anyway, what I don't get is why we're to the point of tossing
out the
primary anti-bundling rule when FESCo has always had the power to
override any FPC decision. So FPC says "this isn't good packaging" and
FESCo can say "we understand, but quality packaging here is subservient
to the distro's mission". That's always been the case, even when the
"E" stood for "Extras", and I suspect it would have worked just fine
for
this situation. Instead we're here debating whether FPC should be in
the business of reviewing bundling issues at all.
I think it's because overriding a different group seems hostile, even
if it isn't meant that way. And FESCo doesn't want to feel like they're
second-guessing other groups all the time. But, if FESCo and FPC want
to (more, I guess) explicitly spell out that FPC takes a purist
approach and that it's FESCo's place to make exceptions when they serve
greater Fedora goals, maybe that could work?
