I can definitely understand why you want to do things this way. Given
alot of the 'discussion' going on around several mailing lists, i
think that in order to solve the problems you're looking to solve,
it's probably more efficient to do it this way. That said, it seems to
go completely against what we talk about about how open source
development should be done as much in the open as possible. I don't
mean to be critical of you, or that you're willing to Get Shit Done
(tm), but it really makes me wonder that if you have to resort to
internal to RH development to avoid having your time grossly wasted,
what are we doing wrong in Fedora in general.
