https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-July/185328.html

Sendmail will be removed from @core. Removal of sendmail from @standard didn't

* No Default Syslog - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/NoDefaultSyslog 
discussed on https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-July/185329.html

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/NoBinDeps discussed on 
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-July/185632.html

FESCo agreed to defer to FPC to figure out the right thing to do here, 
reevaluate if this needs to be handled as a Change later

= Self Contained Changes =
* Vagrant - ​https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Vagrant discussed on ​
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-July/185864.html

* GNOME 3.10 - ​https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Gnome3.10 discussed on 
​https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-July/185381.html

* DNSSEC support for FreeIPA - ​
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/IPAv3DNSSEC discussed on ​
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-July/185626.html

* Snapshot and Rollback Tool - ​http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Rollback 
discussed on ​https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-July/185804.html

* Transitive Trusts with Active Directory support for FreeIPA - ​
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/IPAv3TransitiveTrusts discussed on ​
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-July/185634.html

* OS Installer Support for LVM Thin Provisioning - ​
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/InstallerLVMThinProvisioningSupport 
discussed on ​https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-July/185803.html

FESCo accepts LVM thinp as a Change and asks to treat usability issues as bugs 
to be worked out, change documentation from N/A to 'please document in install 
guide' and speak to maintainers of tools like coreutils.

* Enlightenment - ​http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Enlightenment 
discussed on ​https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-July/186080.html (announced on 2013-07-18 but without complaints)

* Apache OpenOffice - ​http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ApacheOpenOffice 
discussed on ​https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-July/

Apache OpenOffice Change is accepted under the condition that the conflicts with 
libreoffice must be worked out. openoffice and libreoffice packagers get to work 
them out. There is no Fesco mandate that libreoffice must change to accomodate 
openoffice at this time. alternatives is not the way to resolve the conflicts but 
environment-modules may be looked at as a similar means to achieve that.

mattdm wants this to be perfectly clear: FESCo does not grant automatic 
exceptions to our processes on any basis.
