I'm reposting this here to FAB (with Brian's blessing), mostly for the
sake of transparency.  The page linked above also has a "Discussion" tab
which has been populated by some of the FESCo members.  Let's add this
to the upcoming week's agenda.  We needn't rehash the ever-expanding
thread-o'-doom on fedora-devel-list here, but we should consider the
balance between Fedora's stated objectives[1], and the desire to allow
contributors the freedom to pursue new avenues.
