No, you didn't, me nether. From the context of my previous mails IMO
it's clear what I meant, but if you prefer splitting hairs you should
not complain about me "twisting facts".

IMO it says that we are not able to serve certain needs of the community
and most likely never will due to legal and technical restrictions.

The fedora infrastructure is no "one size fits all" thing. Different
local communities have different needs. ATM we don't even have the
infrastructure to build up local communities inside our infrastructure.
And as long as we don't have that and require a high level of technical
knowledge and officialism, there definitely is a need for community
sites.

I'm sure he will, but let me ask you: What would a local community
inside the current Fedora infrastructure look like? I'm really open to
suggestions, but so far I haven't heard anything constructive.
