Comment (by jwboyer):

 Looking at the respective bug, it seems there has been quite some recent
 conversation and discussion on this.  Perhaps it would be worthwhile for
 the Council to read the latest comments there before we revisit.

 Taking a step back from this, there are a couple issues that I see.

 1) This was originally an issue for the F21 release, but it was too late.
 So this ticket was to revert back to start.fp.org in rawhide "in the
 absence of another plan".  I think it's fair to say discussion was on-
 going, but there was no concrete other plan at the time of the decision.
 I don't think the request to revert was out of line, particularly since it
 isn't a set in stone change.  That does lead to...

 2) Perhaps we should have held off on the decision given it wasn't
 immediately important.  We did discuss this on the list, where it got
 fairly good support.  We also briefly discussed in this ticket, but those
 discussions didn't involve the people actually working on the change.
 Which points to a bit of...

 3) Communication issues.  I'm not 100% convinced that we'd be in a
 different place than now had Allan been in the list discussions, but as a
 matter of process we should have pinged him directly.  For whatever reason
 we didn't.  So we have a long bugzilla discussion with only 2 people in
 it.  I think this is something we can learn from.

 Now, all that being said, we still need to come to a resolution here.  I
 believe the revert was made yesterday, but we need to decide if that is
 the final solution we'd like for F22.  Council members, please review the
 ticket and let's see if we can reach a common ground on what the default
 start page should be for Fedora.
