Of course. You need to decide that first. But as another suggestion
(mentioned earlier in this thread), nuke the old binary rpms. Yes, that
*could* mean that you may have src rpms that won't build on any current
version or rawhide system, but we're only talking about a convenience
here. Not a 'must work' kind of thing. Of course, I'm well aware of
the types of people who feel that EVERYTHING must work at all times,
even essentially unreleased code :-).
I think it's great that Red Hat has opened up it's development process
as much as it has and look forward to seeing this community develop.
However, I don't envy the position you guys at Red Hat are in, trying to
make the decisions you must, knowing full well that there are going to
be a few noisy people who complain about anything. I'll try not to be
one of those people ;-).
