My point above maybe doesn't refer only to the feature process, but it
is important for the MinGW acceptance process.

There have been all sorts of claims flying around about MinGW.  From
my point of view, as an "expert" or at least as someone who has done a
lot of practical work packaging stuff for MinGW, those claims look ...
well ... detached from reality.

So I'm convinced that if members of the 'Fedora hierarchy', FESCo,
board, etc., would actually take the time to do some work in MinGW
packaging, then at least they'd be speaking from a position of
knowledge.  It needn't be a lot of technical work, but some would
help.

Rich.
