Not to throw any more flame on the fire, but I really prefer the
current method (the one we've used since Fedora's inception). I really
dislike the direction this has taken. The current mechanism works just
fine for most folks, or they don't care. I think spinning our wheels
on a decision to move forward is probably more one of 'why are we
doing this again?' syndrome. I'm not sure the connotation analysis
that started this conversation really represented the feelings of
everyone in the Fedora community. It certainly didn't for me.

That said, I'm not here to start a flame war or say that a new method
shouldn't happen. I'm more interested in just keeping the status quo
here, since it's fun for those who participate and otherwise not very
painful from my point of view.
